BY THE NUMBERS

● Three million cubic metres of sand has been dumped on the surf zone to nourish Gold Coast Beaches since June.

● Imagine a column of sand covering the playing field at Cbus Super Stadium which climbs 600m into the air, that’s how much sand was pumped.

● It’s enough sand to fill 15,000 Olympic swimming pools.

● That’s 100 years worth of the sand pumped out of Currumbin and Tallebudgera Creek by council annually.

● City of Gold Coast said the project cost ratepayers $13.9 million.
