New bridge improves flood resilience
The new Tallebudgera Coplicks Footbridge is now open, improving the region’s resilience to flooding and enhancing local connectivity.The six month project represents an investment of nearly $2 million and involved the demolition of the existing 84 year old bridge. Mayor Tom Tate said the upgrade would help reduce the impact of flooding on nearby residences in Tallebudgera.“This particular area of the Gold Coast is a flood prone zone, so it is important we have infrastructure in place to improve the region’s resilience to flooding,” he said.“The old bridge was causing the flow of the creek to be obstructed during flood events which affected properties upstream.
