What should the future of Moore Park Beach’s coastline look like?
Residents are being encouraged to help answer that question by sharing their views as part of the development of the Moore Park Beach Shoreline Erosion Management Plan (SEMP).
Community members are invited to attend a consultation day at the Moore Park Beach Community Hall on Saturday 28 November to learn more about the project, speak directly with Bundaberg Regional Council and provide feedback on the future management of the coastline.
The consultation will be held from 9.30 am to noon, providing residents with an opportunity to learn about coastal erosion, understand the purpose of the plan and speak with the project team.
Moore Park Beach has experienced significant shoreline changes over many years, with parts of the coastline vulnerable to erosion caused by waves, tides, currents, storms and changing weather patterns.
The movement of Moore Park Creek also plays an important role in how sand is transported along the coastline.
The Shoreline Erosion Management Plan will investigate current and future erosion hazards, identify areas potentially vulnerable to erosion and assess possible management options.
Mayor Helen Blackburn said the consultation was an important opportunity to involve the community in planning for the future of Moore Park Beach.
“This area is an important part of our community and we want to ensure the people who live, work and spend time here have an opportunity to be involved in planning for its future,” she said.
“Residents have valuable knowledge and first-hand experience of how the coastline has changed over time.
“Their observations and feedback will help build a better understanding of local coastal conditions and the issues that matter most to the community.”
Roads and Infrastructure (urban) portfolio spokesperson Cr Larine Statham-Blair said the plan would provide an important evidence base to support future decision-making.
“Coastal environments are constantly changing and understanding the processes driving those changes is essential to planning for the future,” she said.
“The Shoreline Erosion Management Plan will consider environmental, social, engineering and economic factors when investigating potential management options.”
Community members are encouraged to attend, ask questions and share their local knowledge and experiences.
Input will help inform the development of the plan and ensure local values and perspectives are considered throughout the process.
