About the project

This project addresses the existing timber retaining wall and concrete slab north of the boat ramp that has been significantly damaged due to recent storm events. This timber retaining wall is proposed to be replaced with a revetment wall constructed from natural sandstone blocks of varying sizes, which has been implemented at other locations across the Shoalhaven to promote fish habitats and enhance the site’s aesthetic appeal (e.g. Woollamia Boat Ramp).

The proposal also considers the erection of a new fish-cleaning facility, which will increase the usability of the site.

The proposed works have been split into 2 stages:

• Stage 1: All deliverables north of the boat ramp, including:
  • replacing the failed timber retaining wall with the proposed sandstone revetment wall
  • reinstatement of fish cleaning facility.
• Stage 2: All deliverables south of the boat ramp, including:
  • replacing the existing timber retaining wall with the proposed sandstone revetment wall.

It is Council’s intention to address Stage 1 as a priority, in order to replace and repair the damaged infrastructure at the northern end of the site.  

Council will be providing future updates on this project webpage, including additional supporting documents, finalised design plans, upcoming timeframes for construction and associated milestones.
