Beaches around Australia are at risk of disappearing. As climate change brings about more severe storms and the sea level rises, many communities are looking to solutions such as sand nourishment to address the issue.

Sand nourishment is being touted as a viable solution to address coastal erosion across Australian beaches.Councils want the state government to chip in more funding to help mitigate the risk of erosion.

" have been working towards trying to develop and design a protection that would have minimal impact on the beach and protect the homes," he said. "If you look overseas in the United States, for more than 50 years they've been carrying out major nourishment on Miami Beach," he said. He said a recent amendment to the state's environment laws was intended to make offshore sand sourcing for nourishment works easier, but he believed more legislative changes were needed to the state's minerals and coastal acts to make it work more effectively on the ground.

Some critics say sand nourishment is not a foolproof solution because any sand can be washed away during a big storm. "Even though beach nourishment might be the preferred solution by the community, there simply isn't the resourcing available to fund that," she said.
