Consultation period: 29 May to 26 June 2023

Council has reviewed and updated our Dredging Policy. The purpose of this policy is to outline the principles and responsibilities for dredging of estuarine waterways within the Sutherland Shire.

Waterways include navigation channels, bays and heads of bays but excludes tidal or freshwater creeks draining to bays. Dredging may be for navigation, sand extraction, land reclamation or for the installation or maintenance of maritime infrastructure.
