1.3.3 Identify high-risk erosion prone areas of the Climate Change Adaption Plan (CHAP) and scope an ongoing management program.
Q1
High-risk areas have been identified in the CHAP and are being worked through the High-Risk Erosion Prone Area Working Group led by Infrastructure Services. Design, and construction funding has been obtained through QRRRFWork for Sunshine Beach - Ross Crescent - Slope Stabilisation Construction. Burgess Creek Monitoring Project with UniSC is complete.
Q2
High-risk areas identified in the CHAP and are being worked through the High-Risk Erosion Prone Area Working Group and a draft Noosa Eastern beach creeks erosion risk report has prepared and is currently being reviewed.
Q3
Progress through the High-Risk Erosion Prone Area Working Group has stalled due to staff changes and limited delivery of CHAP actions. A Noosa Eastern beach creeks erosion risk report has been delivered by consultants and is currently under review.
Q4
Progress through the High-Risk Erosion Prone Area Working Group has stalled due to staff vacancy and changes. A Noosa Eastern Beaches Creek Erosion Risk study has been delivered by consultants, covering geotechnical, hydrological & vegetation assessments at the nine creeks along the Eastern Beaches. Assessments were used to identify slope stability risks as well as urgent, short, medium and long term actions to reduce these risks. Actions vary from urgent remediation works through to longer term revegetation and weed control.
