Consultation has concluded
After Cyclone Debbie in March 2017, the Bowen Front Beach seawall suffered significant damage. The seawall is in place to protect the foreshore parkland, including the Water Park, playground and amenities block. At 165m in length, the seawall is a critical asset for the community.
Council is now seeking funding under the Natural Disaster Resilience Program to restore the seawall and improve the Bowen foreshore's resilience to natural disasters.
A comprehensive study has been undertaken of the seawall by International Coastal Management, which reveals the seawall has experienced erosion and loss of material behind the wall, due to high water levels and tidal / wave action during Cyclone Debbie. The report recommends building a new stepped concrete wall seaward of the existing wall, to replace the damaged wall. An example of this type of wall is below:
