Queensland and New South Wales coastal communities are feuding over beach sand, with Tweed Heads residents claiming that Gold Coast beaches are taking too much sand.
The Tweed River entrance Sand Bypassing Project has resulted in sand being moved up the coast to Queensland beaches and worsening erosion.
The erosion being caused by the changed shape of the beachfront could result in homes, a campground and a cemetery all at risk of damage.
Officials deny responsibility, with Snapper Rocks Surf riders Club Chairman Bruce Lee telling a community meeting that the break was “in very good shape”.
