Jordan CRUGNALE (Bass) (14:38): (313) My question is for the Minister for Environment. What is the latest update on the cape-to-cape resilience plan? Stage 1 is complete, and the stage 2 draft plan is being circulated to members of the regional and strategic partnerships, the first ever created under the Marine and Coastal Act 2018. Inverloch has experienced significant erosion, with Anderson Inlet the most dynamic estuary in the state. Wind, waves, tides, storms and climate change have moved sand around, creating dune loss – in some areas up to 70 metres and accretion in others. The geotech bags have protected our surf club, along with the rock wall at Bunurong Road. My community have been very engaged, detailing what they love about the area and what they value, and are keen to see the coastal hazard assessment report in its entirety. They also want to see the recommended adaptation options and have the reassurance we are working to implement them. I want to thank them and also the amazing team at the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action, who led by science and experts are developing this long-term adaptation plan.
