Click here to find out moreIn accordance with action L1 of the Hinchinbrook Shire Shoreline Erosion Management Plan (SEMP), the Lucinda Groyne Field Refurbishment has undergone detailed review, and recommendations for design are now being put forward.
In 2002 geotextile sandbags were used to construct a groyne field to protect the beach front between Johnson Park and Periwinkle Park Lucinda. These structures have now reached the end of their serviceable life and require replacement.
Council’s project team, including civil and coastal engineers Civil IQ and AW Maritime, have undertaken assessment of the historic performance of the groyne field, empirical analysis, shoreline survey and an options analysis to provide recommendations on a proposed concept design to replace the existing geotextile sandbags at Lucinda Beach.
A Community Information Session will be held at Lucinda Point Hotel at 6.00pm Monday 28 October 2024.
Interested residents and ratepayers are invited to attend for the opportunity to meet with the Engineers, Councillors and Council staff to discuss this project and provide constructive feedback to Council regarding the current recommendations.
For catering purposes, it is requested that parties RSVP by 4.00pm Thursday 24 October 2024.
