Samples Streambank rehabilitation project
With approximately 100m migration in the River since the 1950's the sediment deposit in the Great Sandy Strait and ultimately the Great Barrier Reef is estimated at 355,000 cubic meters. The Sample's streambank rehabilitation project based in the Kenilworth area of the Mary Valley began in the first week of July 2020. It aims to stabilise a highly eroded streambank site of 600m long and 10m high through earth works and engineering, whilst reducing the sedimentation rate at the site and impacts to the downstream marine environment. This project is possible with BMRG's Project Partners including Alluvium Consulting, MRCCC and Noosa and District Landcare and is funded by the Australian Government's Regional Land Partnerships program.
