Balgal Beach Boat Ramp Closure

Posted: Wednesday 12 August 2026

Maritime Safety Queensland (MSQ) will commence repairs to the Balgal Beach boat ramp in mid-August 2026, restoring the facility following flood damage sustained in 2025. The works will improve safety, reliability and the long-term resilience of the boating infrastructure.

Works are expected to be completed by October 2026, subject to weather and site conditions.

Please note that the boat ramp will be fully closed during construction. Boating access will remain available at the Toomulla boat ramp, approximately 16km from the site.
