Mindarie Breakwater Maintenance

Information

The Mindarie Marina breakwater structures were constructed in 1988 as part of the Mindarie Keys Development. These structures provide protection to adjacent infrastructure including parking, road, pedestrian pathways, residential properties and commercial businesses whilst also providing calm marina conditions for private berths and a public boat ramp.

Management responsibility of the breakwater structures (Mindarie Breakwater and Spur Groyne) was handed to the City of Wanneroo in 2005. Since this time the City has undertaken a number of technical investigations, monitoring, risk mitigation measures and maintenance works.

Coastal engineering assessment and design of future maintenance works has recently been completed which will lead into major construction works in 2022 and 2023. These recommended maintenance works will address the existing issues relating to breakwater damage, rock movement and wave overtopping and will ensure that the structures remain safe and functional into the future.
