Abstract

Portsea Beach is located on the south side of Port Phillip Bay approximately 55 km south of Melbourne and 6 km east of Point Nepean at the Entrance to the Bay. Portsea Beach experienced significant erosion in 2009 and 2010. The erosion occurred shortly after the dredging that was carried out as part of the Port of Melbourne’s “Channel Deepening Project” to deepen the shipping channel that provides access to the Port of Melbourne. The erosion at Portsea did not occur in isolation. Since 2009, there has also been significant on-going erosion along Nepean Bay Beach to the west, and significant accretion along Shelley Beach and Point King Beach to the east.
