The Albert River is a river in South East Queensland, Australia. Its catchment lies within the Gold Coast and Beaudesert shires and covers an area of 782 square kilometres.
The river has two main tributaries which begin in the Lamington National Park. Downstream the river joins the Logan River at Eagleby before entering Moreton Bay. The Albert River is considered to be a sub catchment of Logan River.
Tributaries
Tributaries of the Albery River include the Albert River Left Branch, Albert River Right Branch, Canungra Creek, Cainbable Creek and Bidaddaba Creek.
Environmental concerns
The water quality of the Albert river remains in relatively good condition until it merges with the Logan River where the quality declines.
Residential and industry development and land clearing in the catchment have deteriorated the water quality of the Albert River, particularly in its lower reaches. Key environmental issues that face the catchment are:
* Rapid population increase and development;
* Altered flow patterns of the Creek causing active erosion;
* Deteriorating water quality;
* Increased noise and vehicle movements;
* Waste disposal;
* Invasion of bushland by exotic plants and animals;
* Management of the extractive industries; and
* Day-to-day behaviour of residents and workers of the catchment.
