Queens Esplanade Foreshore Protection Project

The Queens Esplanade foreshore is part of the Thorneside Foreshore Precinct.

A Ramsar site located in south-east Queensland's Moreton Bay Marine Park, the foreshore is a valuable environmental and recreational community asset to the local area that provides feeding and resting ground for migratory shorebirds and a nursery area for various fish species.

Prevailing winds, high waves, and storm tide inundation impact the adjoining land and vegetation at high tide, causing shoreline erosion. Studies show stormwater run-off is also contributing to erosion in the area.

Council is working towards improving the foreshore by developing a long-term solution to help protect wildlife habitat, environmental and social values and nearby infrastructure.
