Council will seek $329,000 under the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements Program to address sand erosion at Holloways, Clifton, Ellis and Trinity beaches.

- Holloways Beach Northern Sand Nourishment, $220,000 for 7,500m3 of beach nourishment
- Clifton Beach, $90,000, for beach nourishment
- Trinity Beach, $4,500, for beach reprofiling
