Dredging at One Mile Creek moves ahead

Dredging work on One Mile Creek at Port Hinchinbrook near Cardwell is moving forward.

According to the officials, the current dredging will restore easier access to the boat ramp but a more permanent solution is needed.

“My office will continue liaising with councils, businesses, fishers and my colleagues in the new LNP State Government to explore options for restoring all-tide access to Cardwell and Lucinda further south,” said Susan McDonald, Senator for Queensland.

“Navigable waterways are essential for tourism, recreation and rescue services, and will provide a major economic boost to the Hinchinbrook area.”

Completion of the dredging program will depend on tidal variations.
