| |  Major milestone for Burrier RoadLandslip remediation works on Burrier Road in Burrier came to an end on Sunday 26 May, marking a major milestone on the project. The project’s completion brings to an end more than a year of work to rebuild six sections of road, spanning more than 1000 metres that had been severely damaged by severe flood events in 2022. Fair to say, it's been an incredibly complex project from start to finish The final step in the project involves the permanent sealing of the road surface. This will see approximately 1.8 km of pavement repairs at various locations in addition to the landslip sites and should take up to two weeks to complete. | |

We know it's important for people to have their say, and we all want what's best for our community, but that cannot interfere with the wellbeing of Council employees.

| |  Kioloa’s coastal revegetation victoryThe Coastal Management Unit, in collaboration with the Kioloa Bushcare group and a Council contractor, recently completed vital revegetation work at Kioloa Beach. This project involved planting coastal dune vegetation, installing fencing and formalising beach access. After a successful working bee, where 500 plants were installed, the contractor reported an impressive 98% survival rate. This could not have been achieved without the dedication of the Kioloa Bushcare group. Their efforts ensure the resilience of this sensitive coastal environment against erosion and human impact. This project has received financial and technical assistance from the NSW DCCEEW – Coastal and Estuary Grants Program. | |
