Tweed Sand Bypassing 4+

The Tweed Sand Bypassing app provides key information and resources on the joint sand delivery project between the NSW and Queensland State Governments. The system is made up of a fixed jetty which is located at Letitia Spit, with the occasional use of a floating dredge. Through restoring the natural coastal drift and improving boating access to the Tweed River, Tweed Sand Bypassing manages the role of sand in our coastal lifestyles.

Features and resources include:
