Our Valued Partners

"The famous beaches of the Gold Coast are one of the city's greatest assets and require considerable management expertise and innovation to maintain their pristine condition and sustainability (…) Major beach nourishment works and the construction of an artificial reef (…) was undertaken by Council utilising the services of International Coastal Management.

 

The success of the NGBPS after five years of operational service is testimony to the value and benefit of this evolving coastal solution technology."
