The Palaszczuk Government’s multi-million-dollar upgrade of the Gold Coast’s Sand Bypass System jetty is complete, supporting ongoing Seaway and inland coastal waterways access for boaties and commercial operators.  The pumps are at the heart of the system’s operations which is why it’s critical we keep them in peak condition.

They suck up sand from the seabed beneath the jetty and then pump it underneath the Seaway to South Stradbroke Island, keeping this vital connection between the ocean and the inland waterways open for recreational and commercial vessels. With the jetty upgrade complete, planning is underway for a $6.5 million dredging campaign to remove a shoal near the Seaway entrance and dredge the adjacent North and South Channels.
