Myall River dredging set for March

Port Stephens MP Kate Washington said that the dredging work on the Myall River is set to start in early March, with all necessary regulatory approvals now secured.

Sydney-based Dredging Solutions has been appointed as the contractor to carry out the project.

Installation of the dredge is scheduled to begin in early March, with preparatory works – including the assembly of pipelines, pumps, dredging equipment, and the setup of the deposition site – expected to take approximately two weeks.

The dredging will focus on three key areas:

● The Corrie Channel,

● The Eastern Channel of the Myall River,

● Sand shoals downstream of the Singing Bridge at Tea Gardens.

The project has been funded by the State Government through Transport for NSW and will be delivered by MidCoast Council.
