As announced last November, the commencement of physical dredging operations for Port Hinchinbrook’s One Mile Creek officially began on Monday the 6th of January 2025 to enhance the local waterway.
Approximately 990 tonnes of material will be removed from the area and a 100m exclusion zone has been outlined around the site to ensure the safety of all water users and the stabilisation of the batter slopes and the seabed.
Although the Port Hinchinbrook Boat Ramp will be closed during the physical dredging period, the Cassowary Coast Regional Council encourages residents to utilise alternative boat ramp locations at Marine Parade, Menunga Creek or Fishers Creek.
Weather pending, the works will be completed before Saturday the 1st of February with working periods dependent on tidal variations.
