Coastal Resilience Plans Strengthen Preparedness in Scarborough, Beachmere and Redcliffe

Coastal communities in Redcliffe, Scarborough and Beachmere are working with the City of Moreton Bay to strengthen their resilience against flooding, erosion and rising sea levels through new Local Resilience Plans and preparedness initiatives.

Building Community Preparedness

Taskforces in Scarborough, Donnybrook and Dohles Rocks have finalised Local Resilience Plans aimed at addressing the increasing risks of coastal hazards. These plans, part of the City’s Living Coast Plan, mark a Queensland-first effort to empower residents to take an active role in preparing for natural disasters.

Meanwhile, Redcliffe continues to strengthen its coastal defences and preparedness measures following past flooding, as Beachmere and Toorbul begin discussions on developing their own plans.

Costs and Local Actions

The City of Moreton Bay estimates coastal hazards currently cause about $42 million in annual damage to buildings, facilities and infrastructure, with potential losses rising to $468 million by 2100 if no action is taken.

Actions proposed under the Local Resilience Plans include flood-proofing homes, improving emergency preparedness and identifying key infrastructure priorities to reduce long-term risks.

Community Involvement Across Redcliffe, Scarborough and Beachmere

Residents have participated in mapping and hazard identification exercises to understand the effects of sea level rise and tidal inundation. The process encourages communities to prepare early and collaborate on localised solutions that reduce exposure to extreme weather.

Preparedness Activities and Next Steps

The initiative aligns with Get Ready Week, held from 6 to 12 October 2025, featuring community expos, school workshops and emergency service displays, including the Emergency Service Expo at Bribie Island from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.

Residents are encouraged to access the Disaster Dashboard for live updates on severe weather and sign up to the MoretonAlert system for early warnings.

Moving Toward Coastal Resilience

The ongoing development of Local Resilience Plans across Scarborough, Beachmere and nearby suburbs reflects a growing focus on community-led adaptation and preparedness. Through collaboration and planning, the City of Moreton Bay aims to reduce future impacts and strengthen long-term coastal resilience.

Supercross Set to Roar at Kayo Stadium with Double-Header Weekend

Kayo Stadium in Redcliffe will come alive as the Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Championship kicks off with a two-night double header, bringing elite riders, high-flying stunts, and family entertainment to the Moreton Bay community.

Purpose-Built Track at Kayo Stadium

The season opener will run on 11 and 12 October 2025, transforming Kayo Stadium into a purpose-built Supercross track using more than 6,000 tonnes of local soil.

*Photo Credit: Australian Supercross Championship/Facebook*

The circuit spans 9,000 square metres and features technical elements such as rhythm sections, bowl turns, and an over-under bridge designed to challenge rider precision and speed.

Redcliffe on the National Stage

Hosting the first two rounds of the championship positions Kayo Stadium and Redcliffe as key stops on Australia’s Supercross calendar. Track builder Protraxx designed the course to promote fast, close racing with multiple passing points.

The eight-lane start gate and tight first corner are expected to make starts unpredictable and keep spectators engaged, while the layout combines technical skill with fan visibility to maximise both rider challenge and viewer enjoyment.

Family-Friendly Experience

The double-header format will feature two complete rounds of racing across the weekend, with full championship points awarded each night. Between races, fans will see freestyle motocross demonstrations by leading riders including Rob Adelberg, Corey Creed, and Jayden South.

Off-track entertainment will include live music, giveaways, and the Pit Party, where fans can meet riders, explore the paddock, and take photos. The event has been structured to welcome families, offering affordable entry options and activities that appeal to all ages.

Tickets and Event Access

The Redcliffe double header launches the 2025 Boost Mobile AUSX Supercross Championship, followed by rounds in Sydney, Melbourne, and Adelaide.

Early Intervention Programs Expand Youth Support in Redcliffe

Two new early intervention programs have been introduced in Redcliffe as part of a wider Moreton Bay initiative designed to help at-risk young people through mentoring, case management and life-skills support. The funding aims to reduce youth crime and antisocial behaviour while offering guidance and educational opportunities to vulnerable members of the community.

Redcliffe Youth Space Leads Local Support

The Redcliffe Area Youth Space has been awarded $300,000 to deliver services for young people aged 12 to 21. The program will provide trauma-informed case management, mentoring, education assistance, employment pathways and pro-social activities. These initiatives are intended to steer local youth away from risky behaviour and towards more positive outcomes.

Another $300,000 has been allocated to the Lutheran Church of Australia (Queensland District) for a program targeting 10 to 17-year-olds who are offending or at risk of entering the youth justice system. The 12-month program will offer tailored case coordination and community engagement to strengthen social and emotional wellbeing.

Both projects form part of a $115 million investment supporting early intervention programs across Queensland.

Long-Term Commitment to Redcliffe Youth

The Redcliffe Area Youth Space has been operating for more than two decades, assisting young people and families across the Moreton Bay region. Established through community collaboration beginning in 1999, it became an incorporated entity in 2002. By September 2005, further development was supported by funding from the former Redcliffe City Council and the State Government.

Today, the organisation focuses on helping young people affected by trauma, poverty and oppression. It provides programs aimed at improving education, social inclusion, work skills and community engagement.

Youth Housing Support Strengthens the Network

On 8 October 2025, it was confirmed that the City of Moreton Bay’s first Youth Foyer will be built in Redcliffe. The facility will include 40 supported accommodation units for young people aged 16 to 25 who are homeless or at risk of homelessness. Residents will contribute 25 per cent of their income and typically stay for around 18 months while accessing wraparound support to complete education and transition into work or long-term housing.

This new housing service complements the local network of youth support facilities, including the $6.7 million Peninsula Support Hub. Together with the early intervention programs, the Youth Foyer strengthens Redcliffe’s role as a hub for coordinated youth support and prevention services.

Building a Safer and More Inclusive Community

The combined programs reflect an ongoing effort to address youth challenges in Redcliffe through prevention, stability and empowerment. By aligning community-based initiatives with practical housing support, these services aim to create better opportunities for young people while fostering long-term safety and wellbeing throughout the Moreton Bay region.

Hornibrook Bridge: 90 Years of Connecting Communities in Queensland

Photo Credit: State Library of Queensland

With nearly three kilometres stretching over Moreton Bay, the Hornibrook Bridge was once the longest road bridge in the Southern Hemisphere, forever changing travel and community life on Queensland’s Redcliffe Peninsula.

A Historic Engineering Feat

The Hornibrook Bridge was a crucial link between Brisbane’s northern suburbs and the Redcliffe Peninsula for over 40 years, stretching nearly three kilometres across Moreton Bay. Built during the Great Depression from 1932 to 1935, it was the longest road viaduct in the Southern Hemisphere at the time.

*Photo Credit: State Library of Queensland*

Led by engineer Emanuel Richard Hornibrook, the bridge used local hardwoods like ironbark and tallowwood, supported by concrete piers. Its distinctive Art Deco concrete portals and hump-backed design earned it the nickname “Humpity Bump,” while greatly reducing travel times and supporting Redcliffe’s development.

Connecting Communities and Boosting Growth

Before the Hornibrook Bridge, Redcliffe was isolated from Brisbane, reachable only by ferry or long, often difficult road trips. The bridge provided a direct road connection, encouraging people to visit, settle, and invest in the area.

This new link boosted tourism, business growth, and daily accessibility for residents. It also helped establish regular commuter bus services, making jobs across Moreton Bay more accessible.

Challenges and Changes Over Time

The Hornibrook Bridge operated as a toll bridge until the mid-1970s and became a strong symbol of connection for locals. As traffic increased, the need for additional bridges led to the construction of the parallel Houghton Highway.

When the Houghton Highway opened in 1979, the Hornibrook Bridge closed to vehicles but remained open to pedestrians and cyclists. Due to maintenance costs and safety concerns, most of the bridge was dismantled in 2011 despite efforts to preserve it.

Celebrating a Lasting Legacy

The Hornibrook Bridge will mark its 90th anniversary on Saturday, 4 October 2025, at Redcliffe Museum from 10:30 a.m. to 12 noon. His granddaughter, Julie Hornibrook, will speak about the family’s connection and the bridge’s Art Deco design.

The mostly demolished bridge was key to Redcliffe’s growth. The event is sold out, but a waitlist is available for anyone interested in attending.

Redcliffe Hospital Overhaul: 210 New Beds and Expanded Services Confirmed

Photo Credit: Hospital Rescue Plan

A massive overhaul of Redcliffe Hospital is moving forward, promising at least 210 new beds and significantly expanded services to provide critical healthcare support for the rapidly growing Moreton Bay community.

The state government confirmed it will seek a construction partner in the coming months, beginning a competitive tender process to deliver the redesigned expansion. This project is a central part of the government’s $18.5 billion Hospital Rescue Plan, a state-wide initiative aimed at boosting hospital capacity and improving patient care across Queensland.

More Beds, Better Services for Local Families

Redcliffe Hospital — *Photo Credit:* *Hospital Rescue Plan*

At the heart of the expansion is a focus on meeting the specific health needs of the region’s more than half a million residents. The plan will deliver at least 210 new overnight beds, increasing the hospital’s capacity to care for more patients.

Beyond just adding beds, the project will broaden the hospital’s clinical services. Key departments, including maternity, endoscopy, and operating theatres, are set for significant expansion. This will allow more residents to receive specialised care closer to home, helping to shorten wait times for important procedures and consultations.

Modern Design to Support Patients and Staff

The redesigned hospital plans also include important infrastructure upgrades to improve the overall experience for everyone visiting or working at the facility. A major component is the addition of more car parking, with work already progressing to add three new levels to the existing multi-storey car park.

Officials have also stressed that the new design prioritises safety for nurses, doctors, and other healthcare workers. By optimising the use of the hospital site, the expansion aims to create a more efficient and secure environment that enables clinicians to deliver world-class care. Member for Redcliffe Kerri-Anne Dooley, who once worked as a nurse at the hospital, noted that the combination of extra beds and practical improvements like parking will make a huge difference for patients, visitors, and staff.

A Key Project in Queensland’s Health Strategy

The Redcliffe expansion is a key piece of a broader strategy to strengthen Queensland’s health system. The government’s Hospital Rescue Plan aims to add more than 2,600 hospital beds across the state to address widespread challenges, including ambulance ramping and surgery waitlists.

Acting Health Minister Dale Last said the government is committed to improving access to health services for all Queenslanders. He explained that the improved Redcliffe plan ensures public funds are invested responsibly to build the health facilities the community needs now and for the future.
