Coastal erosion and human intervention
A rapidly escalating volume of traffic on ocean beaches
"In the absence of the Bribie buffer and without the dune system on the surf coast, they would suddenly be exposed to storm surge and inundation."
"Morton says the previous government long ignored the erosion under the assumption this was “mother nature” at work. But the new MP says the review will consider the impacts of human intervention, from dredging and wake from the offshore shipping channel to widespread coastal development."
"Bribie Island resident, retired engineer and environmental volunteer John Oxenford agrees human intervention has fuelled the erosion – but he points to the 2007 opening of the beach to four-wheel drives as “opening a real Pandora’s box”."
"The pressure of tens of thousands of vehicles and associated foot traffic since had prevented the natural regrowth of dunes during the winter period, and further exposed them to erosion during the summer months, he says.“Year over year over year, we’ve seen rapidly escalating volume of traffic on the ocean beach,” he says. “The end result of that is erosion.” "

In Queensland, the City of Moreton Bay used to be known as the Moreton Bay Regional Council. It is less of a city, and more of a bureaucratic conglomeration of Bribie Island, Caboolture, Deception Bay and Redcliffe. All traditionally poorer outer-suburban working class areas north of Brisbane. This is a council map of the region […]
