Murrumbidgee River Master Plan 2021 Update - Sandy Point Reserve

At the February 2023 ordinary meeting, Council resolved to keep the access track along the beachfront of Sandy Point closed. Subsequently, at the October 2023 ordinary meeting, a notice of motion was put forward to seek permission to reinstate the access road along the beachfront of Sandy Point, remove the blockades and undertake a review of the Murrumbidgee River Masterplan. The blockades were removed; the sand has been relocated back to the beach area and the road has been reinstated. These works were completed prior to Christmas 2023.
A review of the Murrumbidgee River Masterplan has been undertaken to reflect Council requests. As part of the review, additional alterations were made to the plan to include works to replace the dilapidated retaining wall adjacent to the boat ramp to allow accessible fishing. This work will be funded from successful grant funds received from the recreational fishing trust grants ($98,300).
