Dredging delayed
Work to complete the dredging of Ettalong channel has been delayed due to poor weather, according to Gosford Council's manager of engineering services Mr John Cragg.
"While it was originally intended to complete all dredging work prior to Christmas, the start of work was delayed by unfavourable weather conditions," Mr Cragg said.
"In the period before Christmas an average of 400 mm depth of material was removed from the area to be dredged.
"Dredging resumed on January 4, with an average of 200 mm depth of material to be removed from the area to be dredged."
Mr Cragg said work was expected to be completed by January 15.
