  • Flood Emergency
    HAWKESBURY REBUILDS AFTER FLOOD EMERGENCY We are still recovering from the worst flooding in Hawkesbury since 1990, peaking at 12.9 metres at Windsor. The waters have subsided, but the heartache caused by the wreckage, loss of life and livelihoods will take longer to heal. The cleanup is underway. Resilience NSW has assessed more than 9,000 residential structures for damage across NSW, with Hawkesbury enduring the brunt. Roads and infrastructure are being repaired by local authorities. Although Bells Line of Road has been partially re-opened, repairs will be ongoing for several months. There has been support for accommodation, cleanup, mental health, financial assistance and advice about insurance. Like the bushfires we endured not long ago, we will get through this together.

Use or copying of this document in whole or in part without the written permission of NSW Roads and Maritime Services constitutes an infringement of copyright. Document controls Approval and authorisation Title Berowra Waters Ferry Ramp Upgrade review of environmental factors Accepted on behalf of NSW Joshua Lewis Roads and Maritime Services Project Manager by: Signed: Dated: Executive summary The proposal The car ferry at Berowra Waters provides access between Berowra, Berowra Waters and Berrilee, in the far northern suburbs of Sydney. It is maintained and operated by Roads and Maritime Services NSW (Roads and Maritime). Roads and Maritime proposes to upgrade the ferry ramps at Berowra Waters with precast concrete panels for the sections below the tide level and poured in situ ramp sections above the high water mark. Need for the proposal The proposal is required to maintain a safe ingress and egress for pedestrians and vehicles approaching the ferry. Maintenance inspections indicate the existing ferry ramps are showing signs of degradation that could pose a safety hazard for pedestrians and vehicles. Without a safe operating ferry at Berowra Waters motorist travelling between Berrilee and Berowra would be required to detour via Galston, a detour of about 19 kilometres.
