Havre des Pas Coastal Flood Alleviation Scheme consultation opens

07 July 2025

Islanders are being invited to have their say on plans to protect one of Jersey’s most at-risk coastal areas from the increasing threat of flooding and climate change. 

A public consultation has launched today on the proposed Havre des Pas Coastal Flood Alleviation Scheme, which will deliver enhanced coastal defences and improve the resilience of the area for the next 100 years. 

Covering the coastline from La Collette to La Grande Charrière Slipway. The scheme will address the growing risk of wave overtopping and rising water levels. While the existing defences remain in good condition, the area has been identified as the Island’s highest priority for upgrades. 

This is the largest coastal defences project undertaken in Jersey since the 1800's. 

In addition to critical flood protection, the Advancing of the Line enables us to seek greater opportunities such as public realm enhancements featuring new promenades, safe cycle routes, landscaped coastal gardens, and enhanced wildlife habitats for Havre des Pas. 

Currently, around 350 properties in the area are at risk from a 1 in 200-year flood event. Without intervention, this number could rise to approximately 1,000 properties by 2120 due to projected sea level rise. 

Drop-in sessions will be held at The Lido from Tuesday 22 to Thursday 24 July, offering Islanders the opportunity to speak with the project team and learn more about the plans.

The consultation runs from 7 July to 12 September 2025, and feedback from all Islanders is welcome.
