ESPERANCE FORESHORE — SAND BYPASSING
I refer to the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure’s media statement of 5 March 2008 in which she says of the Esperance foreshore — “We want to provide a more effective long-term plan for providing a wider beach rather than ad hoc deposits of additional sand,” . . . Given that each of the five options to address foreshore erosion put forward by the minister recognised the need for sand renourishment, will the minister commit to sand bypassing to achieve this and cease the dumping of trucked sand on the beach? Hon SALLY TALBOT
