A summary of the Repor t and recommendations entitled "The Delft Report on Coastal Engineering Problems on the Gold Coast - An Introd\lction" has been prepared by officers of Harbours and Marine Dep"rt::.ent for the Authori ty and accompanies this repor t. (Appendix A) The Board has reviewed the rocommenda­ tions o:f the I:el:ft Hydraulics Laboratory Repor t and t!1e estimated costs :for their implementation prepared by officers of Harbours and Marine I:epartment :for the Authori ty. The work proposed in the Delft Reper t can be regarded as falling into two categories, one :fundamentally concerned with structures at the mouths o:f streams, and the other wi th restoration and preservation of the beaches, although these are inter-related. Chart 1 attached indicates the priori ties and order of vKlrks in general terms. Proposals :for the stabilisation i~ ~osioion and depth o:f the entrances of Nerang River and Currc::.bl.. Creek can be regarded primarily as co~sta1 engineerir.~ projects which have an influence on the stabilisation of the beaches, whereas the rehabili tation and preserva­ tion o:f the beaches proper is considered to require direct nourishment with sand. It woUld seem that the two categories of work, :from their general nature, would have to be finar.c­ ed from'different sources. That o:f the first mentioned CQuld reasonably be regarded as mainly a government responsibility, and o:f the second, a C-02:J. Coast Ci~y ) Council responsibili ty. l<evertheless it would not lJe :fUlly realistic to regard them as separate. For example, stabilisation o:f Herang River Mouth would in turn stabilise beaches on the Spit. Consideraole overall economics will result if the initial programme includes the work in both categories. For example, the estimated CDS t of the :fir st mentioned category considered above is $M11.4, and that of the second category ~iM19.6, whereas the v,ork in both categor1es carried out 1n a single all-encompassing programme is estimated to cost ~27.9 (:for a 20 year period). -2- The Board cons~ders the Delft Repor~ to be realistic and the recommendations sound. It recognises that the works progrrunme pro­ posed will involve a high early capital cost and that its financing will be difficult, -but it also considers that postponement 0;: action would involve gambling wi th the future of the Gold Coast beaches, the unknown factor being the weather and sea oonditions which will be experienced in the near future. There are insufficisut his torical data available to establish statistic&l values which would enable an accUl:'ate and quantitative, evaluation cf the risks involved were a programme embodying a lesser rate of early capital expenditure embarked upon. The following quotation from the report is considered to particularly apposit~: " If the cos t of these works makes it impos sible to oarry out such large scale beach imprcvements in a short time, part of the works at least musy be done immediately although, at' COUl'aO, in that case the direct increase of' sat'e ty wi 11 be proportior.ately Jess." The programme of work proposed in the Delft Report is shown in Chart 3 attached, on which estimated costs of the work are also recorded. The major works have been PtQgrammed to be carried out over the first ten (10) years, but continued pumping to overcome long-term erosion ef'fects and for entrance by-passing, and maintenance of strUctures and dunes will be essen tial. Expenditure would be nearly $M20 in the ten year period, rial,ng to about ~M28 in a twenty year period. Of this amo~~t, restoration and msintennnee of the beaches by sand nourishment and dune stabilisation are eXj;e eted to amount to CM13.5 in the first five (5) years, *!.!15.4 in ten (10) years and $M19.6 in twenty (20) years if work essential for the restoration and maintenance of the beaches only is oarried out, but slightly le ss if both eategories are implemented. The Boa.rd ,,10hes to point Qut that -3- the boulder wall system, while giving a measure of pl>O­ tection to pl'vper lIy, cot1.lil nevPY" be regarded as capable of protecting the beaches in a form attractive to tourists in the event of adverse weather conditions, the rev~rse in fact being the case. The Laboratory says: " AI. though the boulder walls proved useful for temporary protection, it is not probable that they would wi thstand the Wave attack during a period of heavy cyclones. The walls do not serve for beach improvement; they even have a negative effect on the natural restoration of the beaches in front of them, due to increased turbulence as a result of the reflection of the waves against the relatively steep slopes of the walls. Eventually the walls mus t be cm ered by sand, especially because they lYere buil t on the very beaches . where severe erosion occurred in the past and may occur again. II It. l:'IoCnybS t'l1e rxrlr~".-,;:tWl.·Y·s cont.r:>ntiOJl g,!.'n):r;. in the folIowing quotation that there is no reasonable a) t.:a>native to beach nourishment, and that wi thout it, heavy damage will be encountered at some time in the future, and this could be any year, and with no prelimin­ ary warning. The Laboratory says: " Because of the touristic use of the beaches, s~up-o··IJi' gl'oynes at small distances will not be acceptable. Besides, such const~uctione do not influence the transverse tl>ansport, so that in this case still 0 the I' action is necessary.

Taking into account all these considerations, it will be clear that the most direct and 0 afest way of protection is direct placement of sand in the areas where sand is needed, Vlhi ch means almos t evenly spread along the coast." -4- RECOMMENDATIONS As the minimum requireaent for early action the Board recommends as folio VIS :- 1.

  • Concept Designs for a Groyne Field on the Far North Nsw Coast
    CONCEPT DESIGNS FOR A GROYNE FIELD ON THE FAR NORTH NSW COAST I Coghlan 1, J Carley 1, R Cox 1, E Davey 1, M Blacka 1, J Lofthouse 2 1 Water Research Laboratory (WRL), School of Civil and Environmental Engineering, The University of New South Wales, Manly Vale, NSW 2Tweed Shire Council (TSC), Murwillumbah, NSW Introduction On the open coast of NSW, many options exist to adapt to the hazards of erosion and recession. Perhaps the most common historical approach to counter the erosion and recession hazard is to construct a seawall or revetment to protect the existing foreshore. Other alternatives include the construction of a submerged breakwater, assisted beach recovery and/or beach nourishment. For beaches with a littoral drift imbalance, the construction of one or more groyne structures is a further possibility. This paper presents two different concept designs for a long term groyne field at Kingscliff Beach. Background Information Case Study: Kingscliff Beach Kingscliff Beach, located at the southern end of Wommin Bay on the far north coast of NSW (Figure 1), is a section of the Tweed coastline with built assets at immediate risk from coastal hazards. Ongoing erosion in the last few years has resulted in substantial loss of beach amenity and community land. Storm erosion episodes between 2009 and 2012 severely impacted the Kingscliff Beach Holiday Park (KBHP). This section is also affected by moderate ongoing underlying shoreline recession (WBM, 2001). To manage the Kingscliff Beach foreshore (Figure 2) in the longer term, Tweed Shire

Executive Summary Introduction The Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project (TRESBP) is a joint scheme between the NSW and Queensland Governments to establish and maintain a navigable entrance to the Tweed River and to restore and maintain natural sand supply to the southern Gold Coast beaches in perpetuity. The Governments engaged GHD to undertake a feasibility study of three specific options for enhancing operations of the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing System (TRESBS). Background The Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Company operates the TRESBS for the Governments at the mouth of the Tweed River and across the NSW/QLD border. The TRESBS comprises two sand delivery methods: (1) Pumping by jet pumps mounted on a jetty south of the Tweed River entrance and through a network of buried pipelines to four separate discharge outlets north of the Tweed River entrance; and (2) Dredging of the Tweed River entrance area by floating dredge and deposition in designated offshore areas north of the Tweed River entrance.

  • Coolangatta Heritage Walk
    Coolangatta Heritage Walk Discover the history and heritage of Coolangatta on the self-guided Coolangatta Heritage Walk. The walk is a celebration of the rich history of the town and recognises those places of special heritage significance to the Gold Coast that have been listed on the Gold Coast Local Heritage Register. Dating back to 1883, Coolangatta is one of the earliest settlements on the Gold Coast. It was named after the brigantine, Coolangatta, which was wrecked off the beach at Kirra in 1846. By the early 1900s it was officially the place to holiday with camping grounds to accommodate holiday makers and newly formed surf life saving clubs to ensure their safety on the beaches. “When surf bathing becomes as popular in Queensland as it is at Manly…it is probably that Coolangatta will receive the purple ribbon of superiority over its rivals in attractiveness…for the locality is favoured by many people as a delightful holiday resort” Marine Parade Coolangatta as seen from Kirra Hill, 1920s. The Queenslander, April 1912. Image courtesy of City of Gold Coast Local Studies Library. As the popularity of Coolangatta grew, legendary guest houses like Greenmount, The Beach House and Stella Maris were established along Marine Parade. Later, as the beach culture continued to thrive at Coolangatta, motels began to replace guesthouses and tourist attractions developed to meet the changing needs of the holiday maker. Today, Coolangatta is the quintessential holiday resort. Coolangatta beach and Marine Parade, 1935. Marine Parade, Coolangatta 1958. Image courtesy of City of Gold Coast Local Studies Library.

  • A Short Coolangatta Holiday
    A short Coolangatta Holiday Coolangatta is one of Australia’s great coastal beach towns. The southernmost spot in Queensland bordering New South Wales, it’s home to perfect sun- kissed beaches, stunning north facing views and is reminiscent of days gone by when beach holidays were simply about the sand and the surf. There’s also a number of fun things to do on your Coolangatta holiday to make sure you go home with the best possible holiday memories. We are members of the Booking.com and Airbnb affiliate programs. If you decide to book a property, please do so through one of our links so we can earn a small percentage of the booking. This goes towards the running costs of this site. The last frontier on the Queensland coast before hitting the neighbouring ‘Twin Town’ of Tweed Heads in New South Wales, Coolangatta has been a favourite with both Australian and International visitors since it was first settled in 1883. It got its name from the schooner Coolangatta which was wrecked at Duranbah Beach in 1846. Many Australians have fond memories of visiting Coolie as young adults which usually consisted of surfing, late nights at the Coolie Hotel or the Jet Club and sleeping in the back of someone’s van until sunup and back to the surf. Otherwise not a lot has changed in Coolangatta in the past few decades. There are a few new highrise apartment blocks but as the main highway bypasses the town it has been largely overlooked by modern development, much to the delight of many.
