Northern Beaches, NSW protects beachgoers from unsafe walkways with Early Warning System
Northern Beaches, NSW Early Warning System Protect Beachgoer
Complete
Northern Beaches and the University of New South Wales developed the system for the Marine Parade walkway. This one-kilometer connection between Manly Beach and Shelly Beach is monitored by real-time video streams. Council officials receive daily forecasts of walkway inundation based on the system's storm and wave height estimates. An indicator light informs beachgoers if it is safe to use Marine Parade or an alternative route is required.
Project Succeeded
