Inverloch Coastal
Resilience Project

The Inverloch Coastal Resilience Project (ICRP) has been monitoring and analysing coastline changes at Inverloch since the current recession sequence commenced in 2013. The project is aimed at raising awareness of the loss of vegetated dunes within the coastal reserve and the threat posed to the Surf Beach and adjoining infrastructure and residences.

The investigations undertaken by the ICRP team are outlined, as are its campaign activities that contributed to the Victorian Government’s decision to commence its Cape to Cape Resilience Project (C2CRP) in 2019. Between 2021-2024, the ICRP team provided extensive input and comment to the C2CRP team.

In 2025, SGCS linked with the Inverloch Surf Life Saving Club and the Inverloch Tourism Association to form the Inverloch Coastal Advocacy Network (I*CAN). I*CAN met regularly with the C2CRP team throughout 2025 during finalisation of the Cape to Cape Resilience Plan and planning for the beach renourishment and dune revegetation now underway.
