Destination Name	CY O'Connor Reserve (Rollinson Park)
Description (it would be appreciated if you could include the spatial boundaries and/or layout of the site (e.g., a map))
Identified challenges that the destination is currently facing	Climate Change exacerbated coastal erosion. Sand replenishment required annually for beach retention Modular engineered fringing reef installed offsite Relocation of assets (footpath, beach access) Increased housing density & increasing visitor numbers. Dune erosion from people going off paths. Impacts on fauna (scaring nesting birds, dogs off leads, fishing in wrong areas, collecting sea life, feral cat populations) Increased rubbish and litter Aboriginal heritage site. Additional approvals required for any works to the site. https://www.derbalnara.org.au/origin-of-derbal-nara-1 https://www.derbalnara.org.au/origin-of-derbal-nara-2 https://derbalnara.org.au/indigenous-heritage-sites/robb-jetty-camp
Potential opportunities that you are considering exploring	A grant of $214,349 from the Coastal Adaptation & Protection Grants program 2021-22 helped install nearshore engineered reef modules up to 100m in length about 50m offshore from an eroding area of beach adjacent to the C.Y. O'Connor Reserve at the end of Rollinson Road, as part of a coastal management trial. This reef has potential as a snorkel site.
An area(s) that you would like the students to focus on, or any research tasks that you would like your student group to undertake as part of their project.	Engineered fringing reef has potential as snorkel site and to move users away from Coogee Maritime Trail spread visitor numbers. But what impact will that have on CY O'Connor? CY O'Connor is a quieter park/beach area when compared to South Beach (to the North) and Coogee Beach (to the South). Although it is still a busy destination and parking is already an issue in Summer. Coogee Coast housing development in the area will result in increased numbers of locals.

Relevant information (websites, reports, current, and past strategic/business/management plans, visitor statistics etc.) that can be useful for the students to learn about the destination and start their project.

In kind support / discount available to the students (e.g., discount or waiver of admission fees, accommodation and transport)

Can meet students on site for a shorebased site visit. If students have adequate swimming/snorkel skills, we might be able to arrange a snorkel around the reef. Alternatively, I can investigate taking a boat out to look at the reef. Both these options are weather dependent.

The project plan is a crucial document for development by the Team. It identifies the critical path through the life of the project by key stages, milestones and tasks.
