GCWA, City of Gold Coast: Tackling climate change March 4, 2021, by Eldin Ganic
The Gold Coast Waterways Authority and the City of Gold Coast are partnering to plan and develop new technologies, infrastructure and environmental management practices under a new agreement aimed at tackling climate change.
As a first step under the partnership, GCWA and the City are commissioning a project to prepare a business case for managing coastal hazards, including rising sea levels and extreme weather events, in order to protect vital infrastructure including the Gold Coast Seaway, the Sand Bypass system and Wave Break Island.
According to GCWA, the project will look at the social, environmental and economic impacts of climate change and consider a range of options for responding including developing new technology for monitoring changes, building new infrastructure or altering environmental management practices.

A survey of 2000 people in late January by CT Group found that while Melburnians identified as Victorians and people from Brisbane identified as Queenslanders, Sydneysiders were unlikely to identify as being from NSW.
