Project Description

The Marlo Foreshore Management Plan provides clear and agreed directions for management of the foreshore areas adjoining the Marlo township. The overarching management objective is to recognise the potential for recreational pursuits and tourism opportunities within the area whilst maintaining important environmental values.

Project Scope

There are two options available for consideration by the Marlo Resident and Ratepayers Association. Further scope options outside of these may be considered.

The works will include:

- Renewal of the existing fencing along Beach Rd and the foreshore walking track to Sampsons Track

- Renewal of beach access ramps and picnic tables

- Develop a feasibility assessment regarding foreshore erosion

- Improve gully drainage and renew toilet block

- Improvements to viewing sites along Marine Parade


A consultant has been engaged to undertake the toilet block redevelopment works. Soil tests and a survey have also been completed.

A consultant has also been appointed to undertake concept plans for foreshore trail remediation works.




In addition to the Marlo Foreshore Management Plan, Council wishes to establish a sustainable stormwater strategy for the township of Marlo to address existing flooding issues brought to its attention through community feedback. To read more visit: Marlo Town Drainage

    The Erosion Assessment Report has been completed.

    Council will use the results of the Erosion Assessment Report and the Marlo Drainage Assessment to prioritise works to reduce the erosion caused by drainage issues on the Marlo foreshore, and to ease drainage concerns within Marlo.

    Initial site visits and consultation with local community groups has informed the development of the Preliminary Masterplan, which contains proposed actions for improvements.

    The feature and level survey has been completed for the boat ramp area along Beach Road and also some of the trails within the foreshore area. The survey results will inform the development of concept plans, which will be made available to the public once completed.

    The Marlo Foreshore management plan implementation project is progressing well.

    EGSC have engaged Water Technology to complete an erosion assessment along the foreshore. This is also considering the findings from the Marlo Drainage assessment which is being finalised by Water Technology. Water Technology will provide options for remediation works along the foreshore within the final report and this will support the prioritisation and further development of the project .

    The toilet block design has been finalised (see attached document for final layout). Construction of the toilet block will not commence until after June 2023.
