The major storm event this week has resulted in Shoalhaven's coastline experiencing extreme surf conditions, with some waves measuring in excess of 6-metres. The associated high tides and storm surge have exposed our beaches to severe inundation and erosion.
Early next week, Council staff will begin inspecting high-risk beaches to determine emergency response actions and to protect public safety. Emergency works may involve mobilising specialist contractors to undertake beach scraping or nature assisted beach enhancement (NABE) works. More information about Coastal & Estuary Management Planning can be found on Council's website.
Council is advising residents and visitors to exercise caution when visiting beaches and to respect access points that have been closed off due to emergency works and safety concerns.
