MidCoast Council will commence sand renourishment of Jimmys Beach in February 2025 to reduce the risks associated with coastal erosion in the area.
MidCoast Council’s Director of Engineering and Infrastructure Services, Robert Scott, said the sand buffer which provides temporary protection to the coastline is constantly being eroded by the ocean.
This short-term solution aims to provide some protection as well as maintaining beach amenity.
“Sand renourishment is undertaken to provide a buffer to reduce the risk of erosion impacts on assets such as the road,” he said.
Works will take place between 3 February and 14 March 2025, weather permitting. Please follow signage and directions from work crews during work.
Jimmys Beach is located on the Winda Woppa peninsula at Hawks Nest. It is one of 15 coastal areas identified by the NSW Government as a coastal erosion hotspot.
Dredging of the Myall River provides the sand for the program.
