Community Notice MINCA dredging presentation/workshop

The regular sea dumping of dredge spoil at the entrance to Cleveland Bay is set to continue, despite the strong message from the community to the Port of Townsville that the dump site should be moved to deeper water.  A deeper dump site would avoid the continued re-suspension of dumped spoil by wave action and its re-distribution around the bay and around Magnetic Island. 

The Port will shortly apply for another 10 year permit to continue dumping at the current site.

Come along to a presentation on the impacts of this dumping, past and present, and what can be done to encourage the Port and the Federal Government to take this issue seriously.
