Aerial Photography

Vertical aerial photography of the project coastline area is captured twice per year, on the same dates (subject to weather and ocean conditions) in autumn and spring. The photography provides excellent information on beach changes.

Oblique aerial photography is captured every three months to cover the project area extending from Kingscliff in NSW to Currumbin in Queensland. Aerial photography is taken from a helicopter that is able to fly over the project area at different elevations. A photographer captures images of coastal process that cannot easily be seen from the ground. This information is very helpful in determining beach change, particularly in response to seasonal fluctuations and storm events.
