Revetment Walls Gold Coast: Inspection, Design & Maintenance Experts

Revetment walls play a vital role in safeguarding riverfront, canal-front, and beachfront properties. At International Coastal Management, we specialise in designing, constructing, and maintaining revetment walls Gold Coast properties rely on, as well as projects across Australia and worldwide. Our expertise spans private and public property projects, including partnerships with councils, ensuring tailored, durable, and cost-effective solutions.

What Are Revetments?

Revetments are engineered sea defence structures designed to absorb wave energy and reduce erosion. They can be sloped, stepped, or vertical walls made from durable materials such as rock, concrete, or geotextile containers (for emergency works). By dispersing the force of water, revetments protect shorelines, riverbanks, and infrastructure from damage during high tides, storms and floods.

How they work:

Retain and protect land from erosion
Absorb wave energy to prevent structural damage
Serve as critical infrastructure for coastal and water-front properties

Private Properties

Your Responsibilities as a Waterfront Property Owner

Gold Coast City Council requires waterfront property owners to maintain their revetment walls under Local Law No. 17. Regular inspections and maintenance ensure compliance and reduce the risk of structural failure, which can lead to significant repair costs and liability for damage to neighboring properties. ICM provides inspection and maintenance services to help you meet these obligations.

Warning signs to look for:

Visible cracks in existing wall or infrastructure

Scouring or exposure of the wall’s toe

Subsidence or settling behind the wall
