Bribie Island erosion worries authorities as wild weather continues to whip the region
Authorities are closely monitoring parts of the northern end of Bribie Island, north of Brisbane, that have been severely eroded by unusually high tides and large waves.
Key points:
- The waves have been high enough to carve a channel through the dunes and it is flowing into Pumicestone Passage
- It is unlikely conditions will be severe enough to split the island at this stage
- Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service officers will assess the site as soon as it is safe to do so
The low-pressure system off the coast that has brought huge downpours to south-east Queensland and northern New South Wales has also whipped up giant waves and strong winds over the past few days, battering Bribie Island’s banks.
