Queensland councils can strengthen their coastal hazard resilience with more than $6 million in grant funding now available from the Queensland Government’s pioneering QCoast2100 program, the officials said.

According to the official statement, coastal local governments can apply for grant funding to implement forward-thinking strategies and deliver essential infrastructure to protect residents, ecosystems, and local economies from sea erosion, storm tide inundation and sea level rise due to climate change, through coastal hazard adaptation works.
