The Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project – Ten Years Of THE TWEED RIVER ENTRANCE SAND BYPASSING PROJECT TEN YEARS OF MANAGING OPERATIONS IN A HIGHLY VARIABLE COASTAL SYSTEM C Acworth 1 and S Lawson 2 1Department of Environment and Resource Management, QLD 2Department of Primary Industries, NSW Introduction The Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project (TRESBP) is a joint coastal engineering project of the New South Wales and Queensland State Governments. The Tweed River entrance training walls were extended to improve the navigability of the river entrance in the 1960s. This substantially reduced the net northerly transport of sand moving to Queensland and resulted in severe erosion, recession and vulnerability of the southern Gold Coast beaches to large swell events. By the early 1990’s, North Letitia Beach, located immediately to the south of the southern training wall, had accreted so significantly that a sub-tidal delta had once again formed at the Tweed River entrance, creating a navigational hazard for vessels. To address the coastal management issues in both NSW and Qld, the TRESBP was developed by the State governments. The objectives of the project are to establish and maintain a navigable entrance to the Tweed River; and to provide an ongoing supply of sand to the beaches that is consistent with the natural net rate of longshore drift. The permanent bypass system was commissioned in 2001 and is operated by the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Company (TRESBCo), a subsidiary of McConnell Dowell. The system consists of a sand pumping jetty that intercepts northward moving sand at Letitia Spit, pumping the sand via a buried pipeline primarily to the east snapper rocks outlet. Dredging is periodically required to maintain the navigation channel when the sand transport rate exceeds the capacity of the bypass system (Figure 1). The project area is a complex high energy coastal/estuarine environment with various coastal processes operating over a range of temporal and spatial scales. Managing sand delivery in such a highly variable coastal system has proven to be challenging, particular when taking into consideration the needs of a wide range of stakeholders. This paper will describe some of the natural coastal processes that present particular management challenges in the TRESBP operational environment and provide examples of methodologies and tools that have been adopted for more effective coastal management. Location The project area is located on the border of NSW and Qld, approximately 100km south of Brisbane and 900km north of Sydney, extending from Coolangatta Creek in Qld, to Northern Letitia Beach in NSW (Figure 2). The project area falls into the jurisdiction of both Gold Coast City Council (GCCC) and Tweed Shire Council and is an area of natural beauty offering world class beaches and surfing breaks to both local residents and domestic and international tourists. 1 Figure 1 Sand bypassing jetty and discharge pipelin C ur r u mb in C r e ek C u r r u m b i n r o c k C u E l e p h a r n t r r o c k u m T E E M A N G U M S T . b i n T u g u n S E A S T .

Feedback loops are inherent in coastal systems, with the beach state at any particular time depending on the incident and preceding interactions between the sediments and coastal processes. The nature of these feedback loops results in the coastal zone being highly stochastic, dynamic and very challenging to predict (Figure 3). Figure 3 Primary components involved in coastal morphodynamics (Masselink and Hughes, 2003) These components of coastal systems apply directly to the project area where a large range of coastal processes operate over various temporal and spatial scales. The following will briefly outline these processes thus providing a background into the operational environment of the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project. Coastal Geomorphology The project area forms part of a Holocene dune barrier system that was formed when rising sea levels submerged valley mouths and coastal lowlands that subsequently began filling with sediment from the land and sea during the most recent cycle of seal-level rise (Roy et al , 2001). This took place during the Holocene Marine Transgression, which was the most recent world wide rise in sea level that accompanied global warming and de-glaciation, bringing the oceans to their present level some 6,500 years ago (Bird, 1965). Coastal bedrock features of Fingal Head, Cook Island and Point Danger, have provided controlling influences on the movements of sand and the coastline shape throughout the past 6,500 years of shoreline evolution. The Tweed River is naturally a wave dominated estuary and the morphology of the area has changed significantly due to the construction and subsequent extension of the training walls (Figures 4-6). 3 Figure 4 Point Danger and the Tweed River Entrance in 1935, before the Tweed River training walls were extended Figure 5 Point Danger and the Tweed River Entrance in 1967 shortly after the Tweed River training walls were extended Figure 6 Point Danger and the Tweed River Entrance in 2004 shortly after the bypass system was commissioned 4 Sediment Transport The sediment reserves that were deposited during the Holocene Marine Transgression now forms the supply of sand that originates just north of the Clarence River in mid-northern NSW and flows parallel along to coast, slipping over the continental shelf, just north of Fraser Island. Each year, approximately 500,000 cubic meters of sand moves along Letitia Beach as a result of this longshore sediment transport process. Although the northward net longshore transport of sand along the project beaches is continuous, it varies both spatially and temporarily due to the effects of the predominant wave climate, currents, geomorphological control features such as heads and man-made structures such as the Tweed River entrance training walls. Superimposed on the predominant process of longshore transport is cross-shore sediment transport. Within the TRESBP project area, significant cross shore sediment transport occurs during large swell events when sand is removed from the upper beach face and transported offshore to form a subaqueous bar. This process can be particularly damaging if exacerbated by storm surge and spring tides. Conversely, during low swell periods, the sand previously deposited in offshore bar formations migrates onshore, aided by aeolian sand transport to re-build the upper beach face. A particularly important sand transport process in the project area is the movement of large quantities of longshore sediment transport around heads in ‘slug formations’. Slug movements can operate over various time scales, however significant movements are generally associated with periods of high wave energy, aided by accelerated longshore currents. During these conditions, episodic ‘slugs’ of sand are moved past heads, whereas longshore transport at adjacent beaches tends to be more continuous at lower rates. These movements of sand result in a temporarily imbalance in the sediment budget with a loss of sand from the updrift beach and an accumulation of sand to the immediate downdrift of the head (Patterson, 1999). Wave Climate The beaches of northern NSW are wave dominated with a micro-tidal current regime and an average deepwater wave height of 1-2m (Short and Woodroffe 2009). The median significant wave height is 1.3m, with severe ocean storm waves in excess of 6m (the maximum recorded at Tweed Heads is 7.5m).

    DURANBAH BEACH – COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT IN MANAGING A COMPLEX ENVIRONMENT, AN ADAPTIVE APPROACH 1 2 1 S Lawson , J Lofthouse , I Taylor 1Land and Property Management Authority, NSW 2Tweed Shire Council, NSW Introduction Duranbah Beach is the most northerly beach along the New South Wales (NSW) coastline, located adjoining the NSW and Queensland (QLD) border. The regional coastline is highly valued for its natural, built and recreational assets. Duranbah Beach has national and international recognition as a highly valued surfing site. Beach and surfing conditions have been subject to the influence of coastal works for more than half a century, as well as being fully exposed to high-energy ocean wave conditions. In particular, over the last decade, the previous coastal sand supply to Duranbah has been impacted by the operation of the Tweed River Entrance Sand Bypassing Project (TRESBP). This scheme is a joint project of the NSW and Queensland Governments that artificially bypasses the coastal sand drift around the entrance to the Tweed River. This has improved navigation at the river mouth and maintained a continuous coastal sand supply to QLD beaches north of the river entrance. Sand is also delivered by the scheme to Duranbah Beach for nourishment of the beach and/or nearshore shoals. This paper describes the changing coastal landscape, sand delivery operational issues, the state and local government partnership in the nourishment works, and community stakeholder shared involvement in Duranbah Beach coastal management. Duranbah Beach Duranbah Beach is located in Tweed Shire in NSW, and sited between the mouth of the Tweed River and the NSW/QLD State border (Fig.

The selection of appropriate adaptation strategies requires an understanding of the costs and how such costs will vary by the magnitude and timing of climate change impacts. By drawing comparisons between past events and climate change projections, it is possible to use experience of the way societies have responded to changes to coastal erosion to inform the costs and selection of adaptation strategies at the coastal settlement scale. The experience of implementing a coastal protection strategy for the Gold Coast’s southern beaches between 1964 and 1999 is compiled into a database of the timing, units, and cost of coastal protection works.

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.
