Many sand dunes can be found in Western Australia. When located along the coast away from human activities, they don’t have a negative impact on human welfare and aren’t considered to be a geohazard. In fact sand dunes can even have positive impacts as they provide shelter to the immediate inland areas from storms and flooding sea-level rises and can ameliorate onshore storm winds. However, it is critical to be aware of the consequences when sand dunes became mobile and migrate, blowing over infrastructure such as roads, settlements and other developments. A recent research discovered that the sand dunes in WA traveled at rates that averaged between 4.1 and 15.8 meters a year for the 50 years, generally moving in a northerly direction, covering between 20,000 and 14 hectares and the longest migration distance identified is 21 kilometers.
