In 1974, the Soil Conservation Service commenced Sydney’s largest dune stabilisation project. We succeeded in stopping the severe erosion of the peninsula, which was moving at up to 15 metres per year inland.

Since then, our specialist team has been rehabilitating, maintaining and protecting sand dunes on the land between Cronulla and the Kurnell Peninsula. We continue to maintain the dunes against ongoing erosion pressure.

This work includes rehabilitation after major weather events, planting vegetation to build up the dunes, constructing and maintaining protective fences along the dune system, treating noxious weeds (herbicide and biological control), sowing seed to maintain native vegetation cover, increasing the diversity of plant species and maintaining formal access ways.

We act as the site manager on behalf of Sutherland Shire Council and Crown Lands.
