16.01.2022 NBN News can confirm the dredging program at The Entrance has wrapped up for 2020. Central Coast Council says the contractor removed approximately 25,000 cubic metres of sand from the channel. In a first for Council, two dredges were used at the same time to ensure the dredge program was completed in the short timeframe.... Environment and Planning Director, Scott Cox said: Once the dredging program was underway, staff identified an opportunity to use a second dredge for areas west of The Entrance Bridge. This meant that the dredging program could be successfully completed in a short timeframe, and the area reinstated before the busy tourist season and to also reduce potential impacts on the nesting of the Little Terns. The dredging program already looked very different to previous years, with the new EPA requirements requiring the dewatering area to be established inside the channel before sand was transferred to nourish North Entrance beach. I am pleased to report that all EPA requirements were met during the program this year, and we have met our primary targets of recovering sand from the channel for use on the eroded beach at The Entrance North as well as removing sand from key identified areas within the channel to help enhance water exchange and navigation. The dredging program is jointly funded by Central Coast Council and the NSW Government. I will note that Central Coast Council has previously committed to carry out the dredging program annually.
