Airport staff had noticed that sand had built up next to the existing fence due to wind and harsh weather, effectively lowering the fence height and increasing the risk of people entering airport space without permission

Efforts were made last year to move the sand away from the fence using a tractor to restrict access.

However, a member of the public was found to have inappropriately entered an operational area of the airport in March of this year via the Carters Beach fence.
