Auckland Hill Slope Remediation

Project Location: Gladstone, Queensland

Designer: Coffey Services Australia

Installation Contractor: Ground Stabilistion Systems

End Use Client: Gladstone Regional Council

Date Installed: May 2020

In 2008 significant rainfall in the Gladstone region preceded a landslip on the eastern side of Auckland Hill. The area of instability is still mostly bare, or with sparse vegetation, suggesting that the instability is still active, potentially in the form of unravelling and slumping.

Coffey Services Australia were engaged by Gladstone Regional Council to undertake a general slope stability assessment and a detailed design of remedial measures for one of the slopes at Auckland Hill. Situated at the entrance of the harbour, Auckland Hill is a council reserve predominantly used as parkland.
