What is the aim of the Bribie Island Emergency Works?

The Bribie Island Emergency Works aim to address the significant environmental challenges caused by breakthroughs along Bribie Island resulting from recent cyclone activity, which has threatened coastal communities, the stability of the island and Pumicestone Passage.

The works are focused on closing the two southern breakthroughs, buffering Bribie Island to enhance protection of Golden Beach and the Pumicestone Passage marine environment, and improving access and water flows to the northern section of the Passage.

Undertaking the emergency works now creates time to plan for longer-term strategies and solutions.
