Dredging planned for October

 

Dredging of the Ettalong Point Shoal should be completed in October, according to a report to Gosford Council's Coastal and Estuary Management Committee.

The dredging "should take about two weeks depending on the weather conditions".

A report to council stated that it was "a priority to dredge the Brisbane Water to achieve safe navigation".

It reported that a meeting was held with the Minister Tony Kelly about funding assistance.

Council officer and committee member Mr Peter Freewater had also developed a brief for the dredging plan and a Review of Environmental Factors which was currently under review by the Department of Lands.

The department was preparing tendering documents to undertake the work.
