Emergency remediation works continued over the weekend at Wamberal and the North Entrance in a bid to get as much done before the predicted second east coast low hits our coastline early this week.
 
At Wamberal, all available rock filled bags have now been placed on Wamberal Beach to help secure the base of the escarpment. Wamberal Beach remains closed in front of the emergency works. There is also a lot of activity around the surf club, so please avoid the area where possible.  
 
Yesterday at the North Entrance, Council crews completed emergency protection works, involving maintenance of the pre-existing ad hoc protection structures at North Entrance. The works provide a continuous placement of rocks at the base of the escarpment for properties south of Hargraves Street, North Entrance. 
 
Council has engaged leading coastal engineering consultancy Royal Haskoning DHV, who are providing recommendations for recovery actions to mitigate further damage in the short term.

At present, the works at both locations have been put on hold until tide and wave conditions permit safe beach access once more. The weather and beach conditions are being monitored carefully and Council will continue to work together with residents and the State Government to manage coastal erosion at Wamberal Beach and North Entrance.
