MidCoast Council will commence beach nourishment of Jimmys Beach and undertake repair works of the damaged access road to the sand transfer station on Monday 6 July 2026.
Sand nourishment of Jimmys Beach will reduce the risks associated with coastal erosion in this area.
Jimmys Beach is located on the Winda Woppa peninsula at Hawks Nest. It is one of 15 coastal areas identified by the NSW Government as a coastal erosion hotspot.
Dredging of the Myall River provides the sand for the sand nourishment program.
Works will take place between 6 July and 14 August 2026, weather permitting. Please follow signage and directions from work crews during work.
The sand buffer is constantly being eroded by the ocean, providing temporary protection to the existing coastline.
This short-term solution aims to provide some protection as well as maintaining beach amenity.
