TWEED Council work to repair and restore the collapsed seawalls at Mooball Creek, Pottsville, was completed late last month.<\/p>\n

The seawall erosion was accelerated by repeated cyclonic weather events. Waves pounding the rock wall surface had also hastened the collapse and erosion at the creek entrance.<\/p>\n

The Pottsville community has long campaigned for the restoration work designed to boost the integrity of the creek mouth. An improved water exchange in the creek system will also improve the water quality for swimming and fishing.<\/p>\n

Jointly funded by Transport NSW, the federal Local Roads and Community Infrastructure Program, and Tweed Shire Council, the $1.28 million project reestablished the existing seawalls to their original 1960s condition.<\/p>\n

NSW Government coastal engineering expert Manly Hydraulics Laboratory analysed the deterioration and designed repairs in 2022. Work on both the south and north walls began in October by contractor MGN Civil Pty Ltd and finished on schedule in late November.<\/p>\n
