City of Moreton Bay is upgrading Crockatt Park Seawall at Woody Point to improve longevity and accessibility of the area for decades to come.
This project is a long-term investment to protect the foreshore area from erosion, severe weather and sea level rise. It features a new concrete stepped seawall between Woody Point Jetty and Woody Point Boat Ramp, designed for a 100-year lifespan.
Its modern design and new staircase will allow beachgoers access where it is currently inaccessible. Design considered people with visual impairments with features such as handrails and textured surfaces.
The project also includes a new beach area on the western side of the boat ramp. This will further activate the foreshore area by providing a new area for visitors to enjoy our beautiful coastline.

Construction
Detailed design was completed in mid-2025, and construction is scheduled to begin in early 2026. The aim is for completion by mid-2027, weather permitting.
Work will be carried out in stages to limit the impact on planned events in the area.
During works, there may be temporary closures to nearby park space, the boat ramp and some car parking areas. This is to allow for construction work to completed in a safe manner. There will also be diversions of the footpath around active construction areas.
We will need to remove some trees to build the new seawall. Part of this project includes planting new trees throughout Crockatt Park to compensate and enhance the natural environment.
We are working with the Queensland Department of Environment, Science and Innovation to minimise any impacts on marine life during works.
