Progressive erosion of the inlet shoulder of Cooks Beach threatened Captain Cook Road and associated infrastructure.\u00a0 Thames-Coromandel District Council began working with 4Sight and Urban Solutions to explore options to protect the road while maintaining a natural-looking beach.\u00a0 Ultimately a buried sand-crete backstop wall was selected providing significant cost savings compared to a timber pole wall and complementing the surrounding beach environment.\u00a0 Urban Solutions was pleased to work together with Thames Coromandel District Council, 4Sight and Land + Sea Civil to complete this innovative sand-crete buried backstop wall effectively hiding coastal protection in plain sight.\u00a0 Next steps include dune restoration once the planting season begins to further stabilize the beach and naturalise the area.<\/p>\n<\/div>
