COMMUNITY TO HAVE A SAY ON SAND BUILD UP AT POPULAR DIVE SPOT

November 4, 2011 at 2:37 pm

The community is being encouraged to comment on a report into sand build up which is destroying a popular Port Stephens dive site.

The report looks into causes of the sand movement at Halifax Point and Fly Point and identifies possible solutions.

“The report recommends the removal of a bit of sand in fact three to four million dollars worth of sand but we’d like the community to have a look at the study.”

Halifax Point is the worst affected of the two sites, with sand build up having wiped up 70 per cent of the habitat.

Anyone wishing to comment can visit the Marine Parks Authority website.
