Workshops to discuss future coastal management
Eurobodalla Council is seeking nominations from residents who want to participate in workshops exploring how the community wants to see Eurobodalla’s coastline and beaches managed long-term.
The Council is preparing a Coastal Management Program to outline strategies for areas that are or expected to be affected by coastal hazards such as erosion and inundation.
The program will outline how Eurobodalla’s beaches, headlands and shorelines will be protected from coastal hazards long-term and where areas could use better access or protection.
The project has experienced stop-start progress over the years, reflecting changes to NSW coastal management policies.
Date Time
Annual hard waste collection starts next week
Eurobodalla Council will kick off its annual hard waste collection next week, starting in the south of the shire next Monday.
The kerbside collection will begin around Tilba and Akolele from July 12, before making its way north and finishing in South Durras in mid September.
The collection will enable households on domestic garbage collection to dispose of unwanted items too bulky for their household bins; including fridges, microwaves, carpet, garden tools and furniture.
The council’s Waste Services Manager Nathan Ladmore advised the collection had a maximum limit of two cubic metres and residents could help by separating furniture and junk from any metal items on the kerb.
LET ME OUT
With some countries cautiously opening their borders to fully-vaccinated tourists, I d like to leave Australia to travel. I would not qualify for an exemption under the current rules but I m prepared to do the following: stay away for at least three months, pay a bond to cover quarantine costs on my return, and sign a waiver saying that I wouldn t expect the Australian government and its diplomats to help me get home. Is this a possible plan to get us travelling overseas again?

Date Time
Playground upgrades for Tomakin, South Durras
Eurobodalla Council will next month begin upgrades on two local much-loved playgrounds at South Durras and Tomakin.
From Monday 10 May, new equipment and facilities will be added to Tomakin’s Jack Buckley Park so it better caters for all ages and larger family groups.
A new obstacle course with balance beam, parallel bars, jump pods, hurdles and climbing wall will challenge older kids and adults, while a new seesaw rocker and playhouse will keep younger kids amused.
Large groups will benefit from new and additional picnic tables and shelters and a loop path will connect the playground with the barbecues and toilets, improving accessibility and also serving as a scooter and bike track for young riders. Shade sails, requested by the Tomakin community, will also be installed over part of the playground.
