B. Griffi n's Gully to Western Beach Boat Club<br />
(continued)<br />
Care should be taken to protect <strong>the</strong> relatively ‘forgotten’ nature <strong>of</strong> this western<br />
beach area, distinct as it is from <strong>the</strong> central waterfront precinct.<br />
Additions or developments in this western beach zone should take account<br />
<strong>of</strong> this informal character and not dramatically change <strong>the</strong> path system or <strong>the</strong><br />
prevailing landscape character.<br />
Access to <strong>the</strong> higher path is served by ramped asphalt paths across <strong>the</strong><br />
embankment which meet <strong>the</strong> water's edge path every few hundred metres<br />
and <strong>the</strong>se should be retained.<br />
At <strong>the</strong> easternmost point <strong>of</strong> this area, adjacent to <strong>the</strong> western edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />
Western Beach Boat Club, seaweed and water-borne rubbish collects.<br />
A clear opportunity exists to clean up this area <strong>of</strong> western beach through<br />
regular maintenance practices. At <strong>the</strong> same time interpretive material should<br />
be provided that explains <strong>the</strong> local ecology <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> seagrass beds found<br />
around this end <strong>of</strong> western beach.<br />
