Routine maintenance dredging has been underway in the Fishing Boat Harbor, an essential process to maintain safe vessel access and support the continued operation of this important marine hub.

According to the Authority, the FBH Dredging Project involves removing around 45,000m³ of sediment.

This sand has been stockpiled at Pages Beach and will be transported by road, similar to the Northern Beaches Stabilization Program, in stages.

This process helps nourish our northern beaches, supports long-term coastal resilience, and ensures valuable sediments are put to good use,” the Authority said.
