Sand dredging to reopen the Noosa River channel and protect Doggy Beach from further erosion is currently underway, according to the Noosa Council, Queensland.
Early in 2024, the Council endorsed Hall Contracting as preferred contractor for the Noosa Spit Doggy Beach sand nourishment works.
The erosion of Doggy Beach is primarily driven by boat wash, wave action and tides, which result in the channel migration process. Increasing the volume of sand at Doggy Beach will help reduce erosion caused by the current flow and boat wash.
Scope of the work:
The work will take place between April and the end of September 2024, minimizing the impact on the coastal and marine environment.
