Redland City Council is planning to build a rock armour seawall to help protect the foreshore and prevent further shoreline erosion at Rocky Point Park, Russell Island.

Over the years, storms, tidal flooding and coastal processes driven by strong waves, currents and winds have severely eroded the site. The area’s use as an informal watercraft launching point has contributed to the erosion and vegetation loss.

To help protect and improve the site's condition and offer infrastructure for recreational use, Council developed two seawall design options, presenting them to the community for feedback in April 2020. Based on the survey results, Council will construct a rock armour seawall at the site with the inclusion of a foreshore access ramp for small non-motorised watercraft.

Further work on this project is subject to Council's budget prioritisation process.

    Council would like to thank everyone who participated in the Rocky Point seawall works survey.

    The survey garnered 81 responses.

    Out of the two proposed seawall options, more than half of the responses submitted indicate the community would prefer to have a rock seawall with an access ramp constructed at Rocky Point.

    Furthermore, Council would like to take this opportunity to announce that based on the feedback received, the project team has amended the seawall/ramp concept plan.

    The amended ramp design will limit access to small watercraft only, including pram dinghies, kayaks, and canoes up to a size limit of 2-3 metres and that can be maneuvered by hand without the need to be towed by a motor vehicle.

    Thank you once again for taking the time to participate in this fantastic project that aims to protect the Rocky Point foreshore from erosion while also promoting and improving access to the bay.

    Project updates will be added to this site as more details become available.
