Abstract
Mass sand nourishment is recognized as a means of restoring beach amenity and one that possibly offers long-term protection from further shoreline loss and inundation of adjacent urban areas. While large scale beach nourishment has been used elsewhere, examples in NSW are extremely limited. Model inundation results, based on an actual beach profile, suggest that nourishment alone provides little reduction to inundation rates and therefore inundation risks.References
