07.01.2022 IMPORTANT - Have your say Our resilient City our plan for coastal adaptation GCHaveyoursay by 23 September 2020 #CrDaphMcDonald... Queensland’s dynamic coast is always changing. According to the State Government projections, by 2100 sea level rise will be 0.8 metres. The possibility of cyclone activity will increase and track south more often. This could mean changes to coastal areas with increased erosion, storm tides and flooding in low-lying areas. City of Gold Coast, together with 41 other Queensland Councils, was awarded funding under the State Government’s $12 million Coastal Hazards Adaptation program (QCoast2100) to develop effective plans (known as a Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy) to minimise the impacts of coastal hazards. Building future resilience of our valued environmental, cultural and built assets is one of our top priorities. To safeguard our city we are developing Our Resilient City our plan for coastal adaptation. Coastal hazards can leave lasting damage including erosion to our beaches. Storm tides and flooding inundate land, affecting our communities, properties and assets. Working with stakeholders and the community, we are sharing ideas and solutions. This helps to better understand coastal hazards. It also helps to inform future planning, with cost-effective adaptation options. The development of the plan provides a platform for conversations about what we value and how we manage our coastline together. If you’d like to learn more about our coast and its future resilience, we want to hear from you by 23 September 2020. Visit us at gchaveyoursay.com.au/ourresilientcity to provide feedback, ask a question or talk to a planner. #PalmBeach4221 #BurleighHeads #OldBurleighTown #Elanora #Tallebudgera

01.01.2022 Pacific Motoway (M1) Update Varsity Lakes (Exit 85) to Burleigh (Exit 87) #CrDaphMcDonald The alignment of traffic into and out of Oyster Creek Drive on the western side of Burleigh (Exit 87) has changed.... To Oyster Creek Drive: From the Exit 87 roundabout, motorists will cross onto a new section of road to join the new alignment. From the northbound off-ramp, motorists will veer left shortly after entering the ramp and will give way to traffic exiting the roundabout before joining the new alignment. From Oyster Creek Drive: The alignment of the road will be slightly different with a new section of road located to the left of the existing road. All existing traffic movements will be maintained. These temporary changes are required to provide access for construction to occur in a new work zone (blue shaded area on plan below). These changes will be in place until around late September, when further temporary traffic changes will occur. These works are the beginning of the Burleigh (Exit 87) transformation, with a Diverging Diamond Interchange in the early stages of construction. Night works occur Sunday to Thursday from 6pm to 6am with traffic impacts generally from 8pm to 5am. Night Works - Sunday 6 to Thursday 10 September 2020 Burleigh (Exit 87): Nightly drainage works will occur mainly behind construction barriers along Southport-Burleigh Road on the eastern side of the interchange and Oyster Creek Drive on the western side of the interchange. Intermittent shoulder and lane closures may be required for these works. A shoulder closure will also be in place on the southbound on-ramp later in the week for installation of a new site entry gate. Daytime works behind construction barriers occur Monday to Friday from 6am to 6pm and Saturdays from 6am to 6pm when required. Project wide - Varsity Lakes (Exit 85) to Burleigh (Exit 87): Activities continue daily on both sides of the alignment including ongoing earthworks to strengthen the foundations in areas where the road is being widened and drainage works. Burleigh (Exit 87): Works are continuing on three corners of the interchange. The main activities include earthworks, ground strengthening works, drainage, road construction including asphalting and construction of a retaining wall for the future Diverging Diamond Interchange. Motorists are reminded that changed traffic conditions are in place at Exit 87 and the interchange is busy, particularly in the weekday morning and afternoon peaks. Please be patient and expect minor delays or seek an alternative route. #OldBurleighTown #Tallebudgera #BurleighHeads #Elanora #Tallebudgera #PalmBeach4221
