Adelaide Beach Management Review

Management of sand on Adelaide’s metropolitan beaches is a highly challenging and topical issue that has generated strong and emotionally charged responses from stakeholders.
Adelaide Beach

These challenging projects are where URPS thrives. We assisted DEW in developing and delivering an engagement approach for the Adelaide Beach Management Review Project.

URPS added value to the project by:

  • Gathering comprehensive data to support informed decision-making on sand management, balancing environmental needs and community expectations.
  • Demonstrating meticulous attention to detail and excellent synthesis skills by analysing 1,307 survey responses, 158 written submissions, and feedback from 103 workshop participants across two engagement rounds.
  • Offering diverse engagement forums to ensure broad and inclusive community input into the decision-making process.
