Report erosion and sediment issues online, such as uncovered soil near a drain or sediment build-up from a construction site.
How to report erosion and sediment control issues
You can report non-urgent erosion and sediment control (ESC) issues online.
Non-urgent issues you can report online
ESC issues are problems with managing erosion and sediment in environments such as construction sites.
Issues include:
- uncovered soil or cement left beside roadside gutters, stormwater drains or waterways
- lack of proper ESC or poorly maintained ESC on a construction site
- unrepaired ESC after heavy rain on a building site.
If you have an urgent issue
For urgent water pollution events, such as soil currently washing into a drain or waterway, phone Council on 07 3403 8888.

Frequently asked questions
What is an erosion and sediment control plan?
An erosion and sediment control plan identifies the erosion risks of a project and demonstrates how these risks will be mitigated or prevented.
Find information about erosion and sediment control plans.
How do you control erosion and sediment?
You can control erosion and sediment risks by having appropriate control measures in place for your site or project.
Learn about erosion and sediment control plans.
What is the difference between erosion and sedimentation?
Erosion occurs when rock and soil particles are loosened or moved from one location to another. Sedimentation is a build-up of these eroded particles in a concentrated area.
