Woodgate Beach sand nourishment project in full swing

Bundaberg Regional Council, QLD, has commenced much needed sand nourishment works at Woodgate Beach.

According to Bundaberg Mayor, Helen Blackburn, the project comes as a part of a Shoreline Erosion Management Plan (SEMP) which aims to protect the foreshore land vulnerable to erosion.

The sand nourishment will cover a 700-metre stretch south of the boat ramp with plans to extend further towards Second Avenue, pending future State Government permits.

Additionally, a rock wall will be built on either side of the boat ramp and will be buried under half a meter of sand to maintain the beach’s natural appearance.

The contractor for the works, LCB Civil Pty Ltd is aiming to complete the project by mid-December 2024.
