  • Have your say on the Our Coast – Our Lifestyle Strategic Plan

    Burdekin Shire Council would like to invite community members, businesses, and landowners to have their say on the draft Strategic Plan for the Our Coast – Our Lifestyle program. 

    This Plan enables us to be better prepared to reduce the impacts of coastal hazards, on our communities, environment, cultural values, infrastructure, lifestyle and services, both now and into the future (to 2100).

    Coastal hazards include erosion of our sandy coastlines, and short or long-term inundation of low-lying areas. The plan assesses the potential vulnerability of assets, such as property, infrastructure, and land (agricultural, cultural and environmental areas), to coastal hazards.

    The Strategic Plan also outlines high levels actions for Council and property owners to help increase the resilience of our coastline up to the years 2060 and 2100.

    All community members are encouraged to submit their feedback, your input is an important part of completing this strategy.
