How will the Emergency Works benefit the environment and local communities?

The emergency works will:

• stabilise Bribie Island to reduce risk of storm damage to private property, essential community infrastructure and areas of natural and cultural significance within the Pumicestone Passage area, including Ramsar-listed wetland
• support the health of the Pumicestone Passage by ensuring proper tidal flow and sediment management
• provide increased resilience to future weather events by reinstating a physical barrier at Bribie Island and reducing the risk of further environmental damage.
