Our fifth catchment rehabilitation project at Laidley Creek is now complete!

Working with environmental experts Healthy Land & Water, we’ve rehabilitated a further 1km stretch of degraded creek banks along Laidley Creek to prevent sediment run-off into regional waterways.

By removing invasive weeds, re-grading the banks and replanting native plants, these works are:
✅ protecting adjoining prime agricultural land from erosion, particularly during severe weather events
✅ improving water quality and habitat outcomes at the site
✅ reducing sediment run-off into the waterway.

For over a decade, we’ve worked with partners including Healthy Land & Water, local landowners, researchers and local and state government partners to restore a total of 3.8km of degraded creek banks along Laidley Creek.

In total, every year this is helping prevent on average, almost 20,000 tonnes of sediment from entering the regional waterways, Brisbane River and the Port’s navigational channel at the mouth of the Brisbane River.

To our local boating community:

Please see the update below from Maritime Safety Queensland who will be upgrading the Whyte Island Boat Ramp.

Planned works are now anticipated to start in July and will require a full temporary closure of the ramp during this time.

Details below ⬇️

Planned works at the Whyte Island boat ramp, originally scheduled to commence in April, are now expected to begin in July.

The revised timing is due to increased supply lead times for critical materials impacting project scheduling.

The project will still deliver the full planned scope of improvements for the boating community.

Maritime Safety Queensland is continuing to work closely with contractors and suppliers to progress works as soon as practicable.

Further updates will be provided as project milestones are confirmed. We appreciate the community’s patience and understanding while these important upgrades are delivered.

A few months ago, one of our long-time partners, McNab, donated “Two Tradies for a Day” to support a Port of Brisbane fundraising raffle for our Employee Charity, Challenge DV.

The lucky employee who won the prize decided to pay it forward, encouraging us to re-gift it to a local charity.

We reached out to our community partner BABI Youth & Family Service, knowing they could put the trades to good use. BABI supports young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness in the Wynnum and Redlands region, by providing medium-term housing assistance along with resources to help build life skills and greater independence.

Fast forward to May, and McNab’s “Two Tradies for a Day” have completed essential repairs and maintenance to a home in the local area where a young family will soon be able to move into thanks to BABI.

An enormous thank you to the McNab Team, BABI and the generous Port employee who made this possible!

Today, we thank and honour the courage, service and sacrifice of our past and current servicemen and women, and their families.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning. We will remember them.

Lest we forget.
