I was at Hillary's Dog Beach this morning and took the usual walk to the northern end where the kite beach begins.

Mother nature has ripped the fence away from the main entrance where the kite school parks its van southward past the sign indicating the start of the dog beach.

There is a big pile of fencing by the main entrance. but there seems to be a post and possibly some fencing in the water as indicated by the arrow in one off the pics below.

The kayakers that you can see were also taking an interest in something in the water, whether it was the fencing I don't know.

If the weather changes and you do go kiting down there just take care.

I will forward these to the Joondalup Council.

cheers

I, as a tax payer, would love to know how much the city of Joondalup has spent over the last four years on fences on our beaches, only to see them washed away every winter

So ask them. If they dont volunteer it, it will be available under the Freedom of Information Act.

Hey guys,

It's funny that the fences are to stop children playing in the dunes and causing erosion of the dunes. CHildren may account for about 1 tonne of sand over a season. Mother nature combined with Huey can and does remove 40-50 tonnes in a day.

The futile efforts to keep the fences is a joke. I was told of the amount one time and couldn't believe that they bothered. I saw the team installing the new poles years ago and told them they wouldn't last the winter, sure enough, they were wiped out a few months later in a storm.

Total waste of tax payers money and another unnecessary danger to kiters on that stretch of beach.

I'm sure it is part of some coastal management plan by some poindexter who sits behind a desk and never actually goes in the water!

It's awesome hearing the noise of waves rumbling at night, but not when the waves are breaking into the kitchen.
