Port of Bundaberg Long-Term Maintenance Dredging Plan

Consultation on the Bundaberg Long-Term Maintenance Dredging Plan has concluded.

As a result of the Reef 2050 Long-Term Sustainability Plan, the Queensland Government launched the Maintenance Dredging Strategy, which requires ports in the Great Barrier Reef World Heritage Area (GBRWHA) to develop a Long-Term Maintenance Dredging Management Plan (LMDMP).

While the Port of Bundaberg does not lie within GBRWHA, for consistency and best practice across our port operations, GPC has elected to transition our current 10-year plan to a LMDMP, in general accordance with the Maintenance Dredging Strategy framework.

The LMDMP will ensure a robust and predictable long-term approach to planning, consultation, monitoring and reporting of maintenance dredging activities by addressing operational needs, environmental risks and adaptive management actions specific to the Port of Bundaberg. The plan will be developed in a transparent manner with the intent of being a tool for continuous improvement.

You have been identified as a key stakeholder in this process and we are seeking your input and feedback on the proposed plan.

Review the plan now and submit your feedback to have your say on long-term maintenance dredging in the Port of Bundaberg.
