Qlders reel in grants to tackle marine waste
Minister for the Environment and the Great Barrier Reef and Minister for Science and Youth Affairs The Honourable Meaghan Scanlon
The Palaszczuk Government has put marine waste squarely in its sights with $1 million in grants to help community groups across the state keep local waters litter-free – funding able to be delivered because of the ongoing health response and rollout of Queensland’s COVID-19 economic recovery plan.
Environment and Great Barrier Reef Minister Meaghan Scanlon today announced 28 community-driven projects will share in funding aimed at cleaning up the state’s beaches, rivers and creek.

Riverside Marine to begin Gold Coast Seaway dredging June 10, 2021, posted by Zlatan Hrvacevic
Safe, ongoing access to the Gold Coast Seaway and adjacent navigation channels will be underpinned by a $6.3 million dredging campaign which will be underway within weeks, informs the Gold Coast Waterways Authority.
The dredging contract has been awarded to a south-east Queensland firm, Riverside Marine.
The Seaway is the gateway which connects the Gold Coast’s inland coastal waterways network to the open ocean.
This dredging project will remove sand which has built up near the entrance to the Seaway and in the adjacent North and South Channels.
The seven-bedroom Sovereign Islands home – with 12 bathrooms, 19 car spaces and a 3600+ bottle temperature-controlled wine cellar – has sold for $14.18 million.
