The Crisafulli Government has commenced its review of the Bribie Island breakthrough, with the appointment of an expert independent reviewer and the release of the Terms of Reference.  

The independent review will be led by coastal engineering experts RPS and International Coastal Management (ICM) and will have a strong focus on public consultation with the local community to ensure their concerns are heard.  

The reviewers will provide the Government with immediate solutions to mitigate the current erosion and will also be tasked with recommending long term solutions to address the complex issues surrounding the Bribie Island breakthrough and local impacts.  

Both RPS and ICM bring a wealth of knowledge in coastal engineering that will be critical in identifying both immediate actions and long-term solutions to address community concerns. 

Ms Morton has confirmed community consultation will ensure the review is locally informed, providing an evidence-based platform to enable the voices and views of locals and key stakeholders.

“The Crisafulli Government has a laser-like focus to deliver action and find solutions.” 

The Review Terms of Reference are available on the Queensland Government website with the project to be finalised by the end of August 2025.
