The Gold Coast waterways network consists of a range of maritime assets including boat ramps, channels, and anchorages that need to be maintained so that they remain clean, safe and accessible now and into the future.
Background
Client: Gold Coast Waterways Authority
The Gold Coast Waterways Navigational Network consists of maritime assets including boat ramps, channels, and anchorages that need to be maintained as to remain clean, safe and accessible now and into the future. The Gold Coast Waterways Authority (the Authority) are responsible for the sustainable management of the waterway network. Maintenance dredging and associated placement of the dredged material are an essential part of this management responsibility, with the Authority and City of Gold Coast required to obtain a broad range of environmental permits and authorities for dredging campaigns. The strategic approval concept (devised by BMT) represents a new and innovative approach to environmental regulation.
Outcomes and Benefits
BMT worked in partnership with the Authority and the City of Gold Coast to obtain a strategic approval for Gold Coast waterways network. This work involved:
Services and Expertise Provided:
We have led the development of coastal hazard maps (sea level rise, storm tide inundation and erosion) for the City of Cairns in Far North Queensland and used this information to undertake a risk assessment of assets and infrastructure of the City under three timeframes (current, 2050 and 2100), incorporating climate change projections.
The coastal zone of Byron Shire has a history of erosion and inundation related to ocean storm tides and wave attack.
In association with Buckley Vann town planners and the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of Queensland (UQ), we undertook a climate change vulnerability and adaptation planning study for the remote centre of Choiseul Bay, at the northern tip of the Solomon Islands.
In partnership with the University of Sydney and the University of Technology Sydney (UTS), we are helping to prepare new national guidelines regarding climate resilient materials.
