Maroochydore Coastal Hazard Adaptation Precinct Planning - Investigation

Sunshine Coast Council is investigating coastal hazard adaptation at Maroochydore.

Sunshine Coast Council is investigating coastal resilience at Maroochydore.

We are looking at ways to help protect Maroochydore and reduce the risk of coastal hazards and flooding now and into the future.

Proactive measures taken today will ensure that we are better equipped to face future climate challenges, minimise damage and ensure a more resilient Sunshine Coast for everyone.

Protecting the local values and character across the region are critical criteria in ensuring our region stays great for future generations. These investigations will include identifying adaptation options, with a primary focus on long-term solutions for future planning out to the year 2100.

Find out more on some of the approaches we will investigate at Maroochydore in Information Sheet: Coastal Hazard Adaptation Precinct Planning Investigation - Maroochydore.

Investigation area

The Maroochydore investigation will explore what adaptation options could work in this area which extends from the Maroochy River along Bradman Avenue from Cod Hole Park to Cotton Tree, including about 500 metres landward.

Funding

Council has been successful in obtaining funding from the Australian Government to undertake investigations at Maroochydore.

Community engagement opportunities

We value our community’s knowledge and input into these investigations. There will be multiple opportunities for our community and key stakeholders to be involved throughout the project.

Protecting the local values and character at Maroochydore are critical criteria that will be considered as we assess possible mitigation options.

We invited the community to provide input on coastal spaces, how you use them, their value, and how they might be adapted against coastal hazards and flooding. Input will be considered in the development and analysis of options. Consultation was open from Monday 28 October to Monday 25 November 2024.
