Solutions ranging from a solid rock wall to an artificial surf reef are being considered by the Dunedin City Council, as it plans for the future of the city's main beaches.
Hearings on stabilising St Kilda, St Clair and Middle Beaches began today, with more than 30 people and groups asking to speak to the hearings panel.
Erosion of the beaches became a hot topic last year, when large portions of the sand-hills were washed away in Winter storms, leaving a sheer cliff between rugby fields at Kettle Park and Middle Beach below.
The beaches were put in more danger, after someone vandalised emergency measures put in place to protect the sand-hills.
The Council hearings committee will make recommendations to an emergency response team looking for a solution.
