Council adopted the Local Adaptation Plan for Pelican, Blacksmiths, Swansea, Swansea Heads and Caves Beach on 25 October 2021. You can view the Council report here.
You can view the Local Adaptation Plan webpage for more information.
Local adaptation planning assists coastal communities that may be vulnerable to flooding and tidal inundation impacts as sea and lake levels rise. Pelican and Blacksmiths each have future flood and coastal risks unique to these areas.
Planning to adapt communities over time to mitigate future flood risks allows local residents and businesses to assess the risks early, tailor adaptation options to meet local needs and act when and where necessary. We are working together to keep our community safe now and in the future. Decisions we make can have lasting impacts. Many of the new roads, drains and homes built today will likely still be around in 50 to 100 years, so we need to plan for the future now.
This page has online resources that will keep you up to date with the development of this local adaption plan and we encourage you to provide your feedback or ask a question.

Hi there,
Thanks for your question.
Council officers have
investigated the feasibility of providing temporary boat ramp access along the
Pelican foreshore to facilitate lake entry for small boats. This investigation
examined the potential to use a temporary boat ramp structure, placed on the
site of the old boat ramp, as has been put forward by several local residents.
Due to the significant erosion of the foreshore and the fast flowing channel
currents experienced at the site, it’s is not considered feasible to deploy a
temporary boat ramp structure.
Additional alternative boat
launching facilities are located within close proximity to Pelican including
Blacksmiths Channel Reserve Blacksmiths and Belmont South Foreshore Reserve,
Paley Street, Belmont South. Two other launching facilities are also located at
Thomas Humphreys Reserve, access via Wallarah Street and at Lake Street,
Swansea.
