Project Update

Over the past year, Shoalhaven City Council has successfully completed a series of Coastal Protection works at Shoalhaven Heads in response to significant erosion events that have impacted the site since late 2021. The initiative included beach nourishment activities, ongoing management of fencing, and strategic revegetation efforts.

The most recent stage of works, completed in October 2023, addressed erosion events impacting public access to the area. Through beach nourishment, weed control, and revegetation, the works complete mitigated immediate risk to public and the coastal environment.

These efforts were made possible with the support of the NSW Government’s Coast and Estuaries Grant Program, showcasing a 1:1 funding agreement with Shoalhaven City Council. Successful coastal management implemented at this location has ensured successful outcomes for the community and improved resilience of our valued coastal area. Council acknowledges the contribution of all stakeholders involved.
