Extreme swells caused the damage at Jimmy's Beach. (ABC News: Phil Ashley-Brown)
A community on the New South Wales Mid North Coast wants a long-term solution to combat erosion after large waves damaged a beachside road, uprooted a sand regeneration pipeline and came dangerously close to homes.
For four days last week, waves up to 2 metres high battered Jimmy's Beach at Hawks Nest, stripping tonnes of sand and vegetation, wrecking 40m of road and briefly affecting power and sewerage services.
The driveway of a holiday home was also destroyed.
Former real estate agent Rick Wraight has lived in the town of Tea Gardens, next to Hawks Nest, for 40 years.
He said coastal erosion had never been so bad for the home owners at Winda Woppa, overlooking Jimmy's Beach.
"The entire town and district is very worried about the effects of this erosion," he said.
"This was the most severe damage that I've seen … it certainly took my breath away to actually see what I have just seen this morning."
Sydney man Grahame Pratt owns one of the homes on The Boulevard, which was damaged during the event, and has been visiting the area since his childhood.
"It's beautiful, it's quiet. I call it the land that time forgot," he said.
Mr Pratt said the latest erosion was much worse than he had previously seen, but he was not particularly worried.
"The fact that the road was between us and the beach gave me a lot of comfort," he said.
"They'll still repair the road … whilst if it was just beach, then there's nothing between me and the beach.
"That's a different dynamic, and that's between me and the ocean."
David Chivers lives on The Boulevard and wants to see a more permanent solution.
"They [the council] just keep bandaging up the problem and not fixing the cause," he said.
"The amount of money they pumped onto that beach is unbelievable and what's it achieved? It's achieved absolutely nothing."
Mr Chivers said there had been different methods used to restore the sand, but none had fixed the problem
"Maybe they have to put rocks in, maybe they have to forego the beach to some degree, maybe they should put in a breakwall," he said.

'Devastatingly worse'
Mr Wraight said most of the houses in Winda Woppa were holiday homes, with only about 10 permanently occupied.Sydney man Grahame Pratt owns one of the homes on The Boulevard, which was damaged during the event, and has been visiting the area since his childhood.
