Work is well underway on the upgrade of a popular fishing platform at North Entrance.

Terilbah fishing platform is located on the northern side of The Entrance Bridge in a reserve along the edge of Tuggerah Lakes.

The platform was in need of repair and these works will help us to stop the erosion of the bank and surrounding areas, and prolong the life of the platform.

Works include the construction of a revetment wall to stabilise the foreshore on either side of the fishing platform.

We will also be stabilising the ground under the existing paved section in addition to replacing of the decking timbers on the actual platform.

To carry out these works safely, we have closed the platform and surrounding area to the public – but you can still access the play space and fish along the bank of the lake, north of the works, or on the southern side at The Entrance.

The new look platform is expected to be open in July. We also have a number of other upgrades to jetties and wharves planned for the Coast.

Ferry Road Wharf at Ettalong Beach is one of the many upgrades planned. Work is expected to start in June and includes increasing the width of the jetty, and replacing the current wharf with a floating pontoon.

We are also in the final phase of designs for the replacement of the jetty at Diamond Head Drive, Budgewoi and the construction of a new boat ramp and jetty adjacent to the Hot Water Outlet in San Remo.
