The coastal landscape in the Gladstone Region is a diverse and dynamic stretch of the Queensland coastline.  

Our coastlines are always changing. Powerful storms move sand offshore, which typically returns during calmer conditions. Your snaps help us to understand and manage coastal environments for future generations, while also helping the community stay connected with Council’s Our Coast Our Future Strategic Plan and the potential impacts of coastal hazards.

CoastSnap is a community beach monitoring technology that uses smartphones to monitor coastal change.
