Once they get one in, there will be a golf course and a man-made reef in every coastal town in NSW.
The State Govt see Surf Tourism as a potential saviour for the NSW economy and are about to launch a campaign through Tourism NSW to attract more surfing tourism dollars.
Get used to a Brazillian Japs ( thats more than a shYteload) dropping in to our shores shortly.

Is this the answer

[wanto]

quite possibly: artificial reef in the middle of a major sand flow area = artificial reef under sand.

The company that are making the one in Bournemouth, UK (which only ever gets a couple of foot of windchop, and is a completely unsuitable place for a reef) have had to stop construction for several months.

They were caught by surprise that it gets cold and dark in winter

Really. So you can be confident that any plans for artificial reefs in NSW will have been thoroughly thought out and researched.
