Danish dredger helping to restore Surfers Paradise beach after Cyclone Alfred
Cyclone Alfred hit the Gold Coast hard in March 2025, causing severe erosion and damaging our beaches.
What happened?
The cyclone caused steep sand scarping and damaged access ways and coastal infrastructure. We lost about 4 million cubic metres of sand, which is around 320,000 semi-trailer loads.
Heavy machinery will be on the beach as we work through the clean-up. Our crews will reduce steep sand scarps, clear debris and close off damaged areas.
Our beaches are still at risk from storms and big waves. We may use sand from stockpiles, offshore dredging and sand bypassing to restore high-risk areas. Some northern access points may stay closed for weeks or months for repairs. We're looking into long-term solutions to speed up the recovery of our beaches.
Surfers Paradise update
We are installing rock bags along a 250 metre stretch near Elkhorn Avenue to prevent further damage from high tides and swell conditions. These rock bags will provide extra protection while the sand is being replenished. Phase 1 of the work is timed to ensure the coastline is protected before the next king high tide.
At the end of April, after the predicted Easter high tides, we will start Phase 2. This phase is a longer-term solution placing geobags filled with sand to help restore the beach and reduce its vulnerability. The geobags will be in place for about 12 months to help protect the coastline while the beaches naturally restore themselves.
In addition to trucks bringing in sand from The Spit, the Danish split hopper dredger “Trud R” is helping by pumping sand back onto the beach.
Trud R is a unique split hopper dredger. The hopper splits easily in very shallow water, with a draught of merely 3.8m fully loaded, and thereby unloads the material in a very exact, quick, and highly economical way. Trud R is able to dredge at depths of 28m, with possibility of extension to 40m.
The very shallow draught and the powerful dredge pumps that can pump 2,500m, combined with the excellent capability in positioning and manoeuvrability, make Trud R a preferred choice for all types of dredging works.
Trud R is using highly advanced technology for positioning and dredging operations, including RESON PDS 2000. The vessel has proven to be very flexible and competitive. Furthermore, the vessel is equipped with state-of-the-art environmental technology, meeting and exceeding the latest environmental requirements, by reduction of both emission and fuel consumption.
