People on the "front line" of the Dunedin beach erosion issue will soon get a chance to hear from consultants who have written a report on the issue.
A public meeting has been organised for November 7, to consider a draft Ocean Beach management plan prepared by consultant Tonkin and Taylor, part of what has been extensive public consultation on the erosion at city beaches.
The draft plan covered an area stretching 4km from St Clair to Lawyers Head and includes Middle Beach, where serious erosion occurred following severe storms in 2007.
The report recommended continuing the council's holding pattern of monitoring and sand replenishment work, put in place following the 2007 storms, for the next decade.
Community development chairman Cr Bill Acklin said yesterday people close to the area, including residents, sports clubs and others would get the chance to have their say.
A submission period opens today for the management options for the coastline, and closes on November 25.
Consultation is expected to be completed by the end of this year, with recommendations that follow to be considered as part of next year's long-term plan hearings.
