Off-shore dredging work with a specialised vessel to replenish sand on the City's beaches is expected to begin in the Surfers Paradise area next week.
The City has engaged the Hopper Dredge the Trud R to complete work to help revitalise beaches at Surfers Paradise, Main Beach and Narrowneck.
The dredge work is expected to begin next week, weather permitting, and may start earlier.
"We have been working hard to return our beaches to their pristine conditions ever since the severe weather left severe scarping and damage," Mayor Tom Tate said.
"This vessel will help replenish the sand which was lost from the beaches during Ex-Tropical Cyclone Alfred.
"This work is being done in conjunction with our work onshore which includes moving sand from our sand stockpile, reprofiling works and knocking down scarps."
Work is expected to take about 8 weeks, weather permitting as the vessel cannot operate in high swells.
The City has also partnered with the Gold Coast Waterways Authority (GCWA) who have started dredge works at the Seaway, Narrowneck and Coomera River and will place the sand offshore at Narrowneck beach.
