A Coastal Management Program is currently being prepared for Tuggerah Lakes, with assistance being provided by the NSW Government appointed expert panel. As part of this process, a comprehensive review of past reports and any recommendations relating to management of The Entrance Channel will be considered. There have been many studies and reports have been prepared on Tuggerah Lakes and The Entrance Channel over the past 40 years. These have considered various options to manage The Entrance Channel, including methods of dredging, types of training walls (rock break walls) and management of the entrance berm. Links to these documents are provided below.
