Central Coast Council has asked to defer the dredging of The Entrance channel so it’s better suited when the conditions are required at a later date.Council recently received a grant from the NSW Government to carry out dredging of the channel but hasn’t used the funding yet as dredging hasn’t been warranted.Dredging the entrance to the Tuggerah Lakes now would provide little value to the community (in terms of flood risk reduction) as the channel is currently in a ‘moderately open’ condition – which means water is flowing easily between the ocean and the estuary.Council is constantly monitoring the estuary and carries out flood mitigation and has also recently released the Tuggerah Lakes Entrance Management Study, including the Interim Entrance Management Procedure, to the community.Council has dredged The Entrance channel, when needed, since 1993.
