The Shoalhaven Boating Infrastructure Optimisation Plan and Management Strategy is a grant funded project to develop a long term plan for managing, upgrading and prioritising Council managed boating infrastructure across the Shoalhaven
The Project Team are in the process of engaging a consultant to develop the Management Strategy. Works are anticipated to commence in June 2026.
Council manages a wide range of boating infrastructure across the Shoalhaven, including boat ramps, wharves, jetties and pontoons.
