Coastal recovery efforts are continuing across the Cassowary Coast, with revegetation works now underway at Cardwell, South Mission Beach and Wongaling Beach following the completion of sand nourishment projects earlier this year.
Cassowary Coast Regional Council announced the next stage of recovery will involve planting coastal vines, selected shade trees and undertaking vegetation management to help strengthen and protect local shorelines.
The plants, grown by Council in partnership with C4 – Community for Coastal and Cassowary Conservation, will play a key role in stabilising dunes, reducing erosion, supporting wildlife habitats and helping beaches recover more quickly from future weather events.
The works have been welcomed by some community members, with one resident describing the project as a “great initiative to replant the foreshore with natives” and noting that native coastal species could help reduce erosion during future cyclones and severe weather events.
Council has reminded residents to remove any personal items from foreshore areas to allow the works to be completed safely and efficiently.
The recovery program is being delivered with assistance from the Australian and Queensland Governments through the Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements.
