Bribie breakthrough review
THE State Government is launching a review of the Bribie Island breakthrough with public consultation, following several severe weather events.
In 2022, large waves caused by ex-Tropical Cyclone Seth cut a channel through northern Bribie Island opposite Caloundra’s Golden Beach. Since then, the breakthrough has widened and recent major weather events heightened concerns from the community about their homes and businesses.
“We will ensure this review will deliver public consultation so locals can have their say,” he said.
This review is being commissioned urgently to ensure the community is heard and long-term solutions are identified. The Department of State Development, Infrastructure and Planning will now finalize the review Terms of Reference.
Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, Jarrod Bleijie, said the Government was committed to working with the community to deliver a long-term solution.
“Pumicestone Passage is an important part of the world, attracting thousands of locals and visitors each year to enjoy its beauty.
“An expert review independent of the Department of Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation will work to identify long-term solutions to address community concerns.”
