The work began yesterday and was expected to take two days. Access to the eastern end of the beach was closed while repairs were taking place.

AKMONS have been used in some of the harshest coastal sea conditions in the world, including the New Plymouth breakwater and city walkway shoreline, and Wellington Airport. AKMONS don't roll around like boulders, nor can you puncture them. They lock into into other and they diffuse the wave action very efficiently.
Sticks and stones aren't going to solve the St Clair/St Kilda erosion problem. That old dump site won't sit quietly forever!
DCC and ORC would do well to get some of the Govt infractructure funding and deal with this problem before it all spews into the sea.
