What happened

Some supportReported by 2 outlets

Wollongong City Council and New South Wales Government have each committed $4 million to a foreshore stabilization project at Windang Foreshore. The total project is intended to build a 330-meter sloped rock wall along the shoreline. The works aim to stabilize highly eroded sections of the foreshore and prevent further undermining of the shoreline.

The project addresses significant shoreline erosion at Lake Illawarra, which has been accelerating since the lake reopened in 2007. The infrastructure investment is designed to manage tidal flow impacts and address foreshore instability. This effort is intended to improve public safety and allow continued recreational use of the lake.
