A dredging consultant - like ICM - is an independent engineer hired by the project owner to plan, design, obtain approvals for, procure, and supervise dredging works. Because ICM has no equipment to sell, our advice is unbiased and focused entirely on what is best for your project. Does ICM operate across all of Australia? Yes. ICM is based on the Gold Coast in Queensland and has delivered dredging consultancy services in Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, Western Australia, the Northern Territory, and Tasmania. We also have significant international experience in the Middle East, New Zealand, Asia, and the United States. What approvals are needed for dredging in Australia? Dredging approvals in Australia typically involve state-level coastal management or marine park approvals, and may also require federal assessment under the EPBC Act if matters of national environmental significance are involved. For offshore disposal, a Sea Dumping Act permit may be needed. ICM manages this entire process and has extensive experience with regulators at both state and federal levels. What is a Dredge Management Plan (DMP)? A Dredge Management Plan (DMP) is a regulatory document that outlines how dredging will be conducted to meet environmental approval conditions. It typically covers dredging methodology, equipment, water quality monitoring triggers and responses, turbidity management, protected species protocols, and reporting requirements. ICM prepares DMPs for all types of dredging projects in Australian waters. Can ICM advise on beach nourishment as part of dredging projects? Absolutely - beach nourishment is one of ICM's strongest areas of expertise. Many dredging projects in Australia involve placing dredged sand onto beaches or in the nearshore zone as a beneficial use. ICM has designed and managed beach nourishment programs for projects including the Gold Coast, Cronulla, Noosa, Ettalong, and Coffs Harbour. How much dredging experience does ICM have? ICM has been involved in dredging projects since 1989, with our founder, Angus Jackson pioneering new techniques such as nearshore nourishment. Our team has been involved with over 6 million cubic metres of dredging, managed coastal projects in 23 countries, and authored more than 65 technical papers on coastal engineering. Our dredging projects range from small marina maintenance to major capital dredging programs of several hundred thousand cubic metres.

ICM specialises in designing and building revetment walls Gold Coast, delivering cost-effective solutions to protect properties and public spaces. Revetment Walls Gold Coast Inspection, Design & Maintenance Experts Revetment walls play a vital role in safeguarding riverfront, canal-front, and beachfront properties. At International Coastal Management, we specialise in designing, constructing, and maintaining revetment walls Gold Coast properties rely on, as well as projects across Australia and worldwide. Our expertise spans private and public property projects, including partnerships with councils, ensuring tailored, durable, and cost-effective solutions. What Are Revetments? Revetments are engineered sea defence structures designed to absorb wave energy and reduce erosion. They can be sloped, stepped, or vertical walls made from durable materials such as rock, concrete, or geotextile containers (for emergency works). By dispersing the force of water, revetments protect shorelines, riverbanks, and infrastructure from damage during high tides, storms and floods. How they work: Retain and protect land from erosion Absorb wave energy to prevent structural damage Serve as critical infrastructure for coastal and water-front properties Revetment Walls for Public & Private Properties ICM partners with property owners and councils to design and construct revetment walls that meet the highest engineering and environmental standards. Public Spaces We deliver walls that protect vital infrastructure and enhance the safety and accessibility of waterfront areas. Private Properties Our solutions balance functionality, aesthetics, and cost-efficiency to safeguard your waterfront investment. Contact Us Your Responsibilities as a Waterfront Property Owner Gold Coast City Council requires waterfront property owners to maintain their revetment walls under Local Law No. 17 .
