STOCKTON BEACH: Sand Sources Found for Dredging Works
July 1, 2021
A geological survey has identified three sources of sand suitable to replenish the heavily eroded Stockton Beach.
NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro has confirmed the survey identified offshore dredging sources in Stockton Bight, north of the Pinnacles Reef and close to the entrance of Newcastle Harbour.
“These results follow a six-week exploration program carried out earlier this year and information about the options will be provided to the City of Newcastle Council to consider its next steps to improve the beach.”
Council will need to apply for a mining licence to conduct the dredging work, which is otherwise illegal in NSW.
Deputy Premier
A solution to the coastal erosion issues plaguing Stockton is significantly closer to being realised with work carried out by NSW Government scientists identifying three sources of offshore sand for beach renourishment.
Deputy Premier and Minister responsible for resources John Barilaro today announced details about potentially suitable bodies of sand in the Stockton Bight; one located near the entrance to Newcastle Harbour and two located further east of the beach foreshore at Stockton.
“I promised we would deliver the necessary survey work to help find suitable sand in the area and the options announced today will now be reviewed by the City of Newcastle as part of its plan to tackle erosion at Stockton Beach,” Mr Barilaro said.
