Golden Beach sand dredging

To dredge within the Pumicestone Passage at Golden Beach council obtained federal government approval permits.

Beaches are an important part of the recreational lifestyle on the Sunshine Coast.

Protecting the coast's beaches is a service council undertakes through federal and state government permits. This enables council to:

  • place sand on beaches within the Golden Beach area
  • maintain the appeal of the beaches at Golden Beach for the community to enjoy
  • protect public structures from coastal erosion impacts.

Council works closely with the community and environmental organisations to protect seagrass meadows, migratory birds and aquatic life within the Pumicestone Passage.
