Building an artificial reef could be the key to stabilising a popular beach at Queensland’s Inskip Point, after another large section of sand crumbled into the ocean last weekend.
Geotechnical engineer Alison Golby said that after suffering repeated landslips, this region is “past the point” of carrying out geotechnical assessment to prevent the issue.
Ms Golby said the artificial reef would not only assist in ensuring the stability of the beach, but allow for the whole area to become more stable in terms of sea life and tourism opportunities.
