The construction for the repair of Jenny Dixon Beach stairs will start on 8 April 2024.

Central Coast Council have been pro-actively and actively managing The Entrance Channel to minimise flood risk in alignment with the Tuggerah Lakes Interim Entrance Management Procedure (2022) which prescribes the flood-minimisations actions we should undertake based on water level predictions in consideration of entrance channel conditions.As the channel had been in a heavily constricted state we have been pro-actively helping to get it into a more ‘flood-ready’ state by doing some pre-flood berm preparation works.

We can’t be-leaf it’s almost April school holidays!
