Bribie Island emergency works

To enhance protection of Golden Beach and the Pumicestone Passage during the upcoming storm season, the Queensland Government has approved emergency dredging works to address the southern breakthroughs and buffer Bribie Island.

The Queensland Government has directed the Coordinator-General to undertake the emergency works.  The works are informed by independent expert recommendations and community feedback gathered during recent consultation.

Site establishment at Woorim Park, Golden Beach

To support delivery of these essential works, from Friday 29 August 2025 a temporary work site compound will be established in the northern section of Woorim Park (nearest Drake Street and The Esplanade), Golden Beach. The compound will accommodate a site office, materials laydown and materials assembly area. It is anticipated that the site compound will remain in place until the end of the upcoming storm season (end April 2026) to support not only the initial works, but also ongoing monitoring and maintenance activities.

Site establishment works will generally occur between 6am and 6pm, Monday to Friday. When the emergency works are underway, the site compound may be accessed by workers 24/7, however construction activities will usually occur between 6am and 6pm each day of the week.

Public access to park amenities and the remaining areas of Woorim Park will be maintained, and every effort will be made to minimise disruption to park visitors, the local community, and nearby businesses throughout the duration of the project.
