MidCoast Council is finalising logistics and contractor arrangements for dredging to take place in the Lower Myall River.
Council is managing this major project which is fully funded by TfNSW through the NSW Boating Now Program.
Works will see the removal of approximately 100,000m3 of sediment from the identified channels in the Hawks Nest and Tea Gardens area including the Lower Myall, Corrie and Eastern Channels.
That sand will then be stockpiled at Winda Woppa on the end of the peninsula and used for future sand renourishment of Jimmys Beach which occurs as required following coastal erosion events.
Please note the Moria Street boat ramp at Hawks Nest will be closed to the public on Tuesday 4 March between 7am and 3pm to launch the barge for the dredging project.
Dredging Solutions is the successful contractor for the work which should begin in early March, and pending favourable weather conditions, finish in late October.
