Project Overview Cambridge Coastcare (‘CCC’), a Western Australian coastal community organisation, contracted OmniDrone, an Australian ‘drone’ operator, in mid-2021 to perform an aerial survey by drone of limited sections of Floreat Beach on Perth’s Indian Ocean coastline, as a continuing part of CCC’s ‘Improving Coastal Dune Monitoring & Management’ project. This project’s primary objectives were…

To assess the suitability of drone-deployed systems for illustrating and accurately quantifying the changing topography of beach dunes, and… To report on the sand erosion and accretion changes for the Floreat Beach dunes over the period 2018 to 2022.

CCC obtained a WA Government grant to undertake this project under the Government’s ‘CoastWest’ coastal management initiative. This report, along with the considerable survey data and imagery acquired over the period, is the final deliverable per the terms of that grant. This document reports on aerial surveys of Floreat Beach undertaken by ‘drone’ (more formally, ‘RPAS – Remotely Piloted Aircraft System’) conducted by drone operators ‘RemSense’, ‘OmniDrone’ and then ‘GeoCue’, sequentially over the period 2018 to 2022. This report compares the findings across the 2018 to 2022 surveys at discrete sections of Floreat Beach, to illustrate and quantify dune erosion and accretion differences for these beach sections.
