This project utilises Software-as-a-Service and is part of delivering the Waterways Management program 2024-2028.

What is Software-as-a-Service?

GCWA uses third-party Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) providers to support the delivery and performance of its digital services.

The Authority does not collect, store, or process any personal or sensitive information through these services.

However, depending on the configuration and privacy practices of the SaaS provider, they may independently collect limited data, which could include personal or sensitive information. This collection is not initiated, managed, or controlled by GCWA.

Users are encouraged to review the privacy policies of any third-party services linked to or embedded within our digital platforms—or theirs—to understand how their data may be handled by those providers.

Any damaged or missing aids to navigation such as beacons, buoys, markers or signs, should be reported as soon as possible on
07 5539 7350

Who’s Who in the Blue

Who’s Who in the Blue explains who is responsible for managing, protecting and regulating Queensland’s waterways, particularly on the Gold Coast.

It clarifies agency roles across safety, environmental protection, pollution response, compliance and infrastructure, helping avoid confusion and duplication.

Overall, it’s a quick reference guide that supports coordination, accountability and effective waterway stewardship.
