Crockatt Park at Woody Point will soon see a $9 million seawall built to defend the foreshore from erosion, marking one of the largest coastal protection projects in Moreton Bay.
Strengthening A Community Space
In August 2025, a $15.1 million upgrade was confirmed to safeguard some of Moreton Bay’s most loved waterfront spaces. At Woody Point, Crockatt Park, a favourite spot for families, walkers and visitors to the jetty, will receive a new seawall to combat erosion and keep the foreshore safe and accessible.
The project aims to protect parklands, pathways and gathering areas so the community can continue enjoying one of the region’s busiest seaside destinations for years to come.
Other Works Across Moreton Bay
Alongside the Woody Point project, crews are stabilising Scarborough’s Flinders Parade cliffs by extending the Drury Point groyne 30 metres and placing 10,000 cubic metres of sand.
In Deception Bay, a failed seawall at Captain Cook Parade will be replaced with a stepped concrete wall that can be raised in future to adapt to sea-level rise. At Dohles Rocks, a $300,000 business case is under way to examine flood protection measures.
Focus On Long-term Resilience
Federal and local representatives said the goal of these projects is to reduce risks from storms and flooding while building stronger protection for coastal communities.
They noted that southeast Queensland has faced repeated severe weather in recent years, making resilience works a priority.
Looking Ahead
The seawall at Crockatt Park remains in the planning phase, with design, approvals and community consultation expected to follow before construction begins.
The combined investment across Moreton Bay delivers immediate protection and builds future readiness, giving residents confidence that foreshore spaces will remain part of everyday community life.
