B.1 Open Coast – Physical and Environmental Context B.1.1 Physical features The Shoalhaven open coast extends 165 km along the NSW south coast, from Shoalhaven Heads to North Durras. Shoalhaven City Council manages 40 of Shoalhaven’s 109 beaches and 9 of its 14 estuaries, over a 165 km stretch of coastline. This is the largest stretch of managed coastline within any local government area in NSW. Ten of the beaches managed by Council are classified as being at high risk to coastal hazards, together with ten cliffs and bluffs. As a result, many of the studies and much of the risk management and mitigation works, have focussed on these areas. It is expected that the focus will need to expand into the future as more locations are impacted due to a changing climate. In addition, the remaining Council-managed open coast beaches will need to be considered in the CMP not only from a risk management and mitigation viewpoint, but from a social, environmental and cultural perspective also, as captured by the four coastal management areas described in the new Coastal Management SEPP. The following 10 beaches were prioritised for coastal hazard studies after being risk assessed for a 1% (100 ARI) coastal storm event in the 2004 Coastline Risk Management Report: • Shoalhaven Heads • Culburra Beach • Warrain Beach • Currarong Beach • Callala Beach • Collingwood Beach • Boat Harbour, Bendalong • Narrawallee Beach • Mollymook Beach • Collers Beach. Physical descriptions of each of these beaches have been drawn from Shoalhaven Coastal Hazard Mapping Review prepared by Advisian (2016). 1. Shoalhaven Heads. Shoalhaven Heads is a small coastal town located on Seven Mile Beach at the foot of Mount Coolangatta and on the northern side of the Shoalhaven River entrance, a natural and untrained entrance. Seven Mile Beach is bounded by the town of Gerroa to the north, Crookhaven Heads to the south, Berrys Bay to the east and national parks inland. The most at-risk urban asset is the Sur Club, which came under threat during the storm and flooding event of 1978. The dunes at Shoalhaven Heads have previously undergone erosion due to the Shoalhaven River entrance’s behaviour during storms and flooding events stripping away sediment from the beach. Historically, the Shoalhaven Council’s policy is to maintain a v-shaped notch through the berm on Shoalhaven River entrance to influence the opening of the entrance at high water levels and alleviate flooding Appendix B – DRAFT Shoalhaven CMP Scoping Study Advisian 2 of 78 concerns. The influence of the entrance on the sediment budget of Shoalhaven Heads makes the beach a particularly unique one among the open coast. 2. Culburra Beach. Culburra Beach is located to the north-east of Wollumboola Lake and bound by Crookhaven River entrance to the north and Penguin Head to the south. Urban development along the beachfront is located behind highly vegetated dune which has undergone erosion due to storm cut and aeolian sediment transport. 3. Warrain Beach. Warrain Beach is a 10-kilometre-long open-coast beach located north-east of Jervis Bay. The beach is bounded by Penguin Head to the north and Cuurarong Head to the south. The location of Kinghorne’s Point along the midpoint of Warrain Beach means that the beach is separated into two distinct sediment compartments. 4. Currarong Beach. Currarong Beach is a 900m long beach located between the Currarong River entrance on the east and a bedrock outcrop on the west. There is a prominent rock outcrop midway of the beach which has formed a small salient influencing the beach morphology. Storm erosion and wave runup has eroded the dune to a steep shape. 5. Callala Beach. Callala Beach a 5-kilometre-long beach lo northern shore of Jervis Bay flanked by Callala Point to the north and Tapalla Point to the south. It is subject to ocean swell. However, wave climate at Callala Beach is much reduced, as it is in a semi-enclosed embayment, compared with that which, typically, is experienced on open-coast beaches along Shoalhaven City coastline. The incipient and frontal dune along have remained in a natural state, relatively undisturbed and covered in natural vegetation. However urban development has since reshaped and stripped the dune vegetation. Hard protection has been constructed on some areas of the dune to protect property from erosion. 6. Collingwood Beach. Collingwood Beach is located on the western shores of Jervis Bay and bounded by Moona Moona Creek entrance to the north and Orion Beach to the south. The beach is subject to ocean swell waves and wind waves, however like Callala beach, the ocean swells are less impactful than those experienced on the open coast. Dune vegetation along parts of Collingwood Beach has been deliberately damaged, causing the dunes to be more susceptible to erosion in future storms. 7. Boat Harbour Beach, Bendalong. Bendalong Boat Harbour Beach is located in Bendalong on the northern side of Red Point. The beach is approximately 300 metres long and is flanked by Red Point to the east and a rocky point on the west, separating the embayment from Washerwoman Beach to the west. The beach includes a range of facilities including a boat ramp, picnic areas, car parking, children’s play area and a toilet block, and is a very popular destination for boating, fishing and other ocean-based recreation. 7. Narrawallee. Narrawallee Beach is an open-coast beach located north of Ulladulla on the Shoalhaven coast. The beach is approximately 1.4 kilometres long and is flanked by an intertidal rock shelf at the southern end, and the sandstone headland of Preservation Rock and Narrawallee inlet at the northern end. The entrance to Narrawallee inlet is currently located to the north of Preservation Rock, and there is a prominent rock outcrop near the centre of the beach that has resulted in the formation of a salient. The southern end of the beach is flanked by a steep escarpment or bluff, and urban development, located behind a vegetated dune, flanks the northern half of the beach. Appendix B – DRAFT Shoalhaven CMP Scoping Study Advisian 3 of 78 8. Mollymook. Mollymook Beach is an open-coast beach located north of Ulladulla on the Shoalhaven coast. The beach is approximately two kilometres long and is flanked by a rocky sandstone headland of Bannisters Point at the northern end and an intertidal rock shelf to the south. Two small creeks cross the beach, one towards the southern end and another near the northern end. The entire beach is flanked by urban development and in some areas, the frontal dune has been interfered with, reshaped and denuded of natural vegetation, especially at the southern end where the Golf Club and Surf Club are located. Here, seawall structures have been constructed on the dune to protect property from erosion. A dune has been recently constructed (April 2016) using sand sourced from dredging at Lake Conjola, on the northern side of Blackwater Creek, as well as a revetment constructed of rock and geobags. These works have reduced the coastal erosion and inundation hazard for the properties immediately north of the creek entrance, as well as reduced the propensity for the creek to break out towards the north along the beach. 9. Collers Beach. Collers Beach is located on the northern side of Ulladulla Head south of Mollymook Beach. The beach is approximately 150 metres long and is flanked by rocky headlands. The nearshore seabed comprises mainly rock reef. The beach is backed by the Mollymook Golf Course and there is a small residential subdivision on an elevated bluff to the north. On the northern side also are a car park and the start of a coastal walkway around to a local swimming hole (the Bogey Hole) and Mollymook Beach. There are some properties located behind the dune at the southern end of the beach. B.1.2 Sediment Compartments Carvalho and Woodroffe (2015) have undertaken a study of the coastal compartments of the eastern coast of NSW. They considered sediment compartments as subdivisions of the coast separated by major obstacles such as headlands, which stop longshore transport of sediment. Compartments were delineated based on physical characteristics as well as review and interpretation of hydrologic, geomorphic and sedimentological data. The following primary sediment compartments were identified for the Shoalhaven coast: • A compartment centred on the Shoalhaven River estuary, encompassing Seven Mile Beach at Shoalhaven Heads, Culburra, Warrain and Currarong beaches; • A compartment centred on Jervis Bay, encompassing Callala and Collingwood beaches; • A compartment between Bannisters Point and Jervis Bay, encompassing Narrawallee beach; • A compartment between Warden Head and Bannisters Point, encompassing Ulladulla Harbour, Collers and Mollymook beaches. These compartments have been further subdivided into secondary and tertiary sediment compartments by the presence of smaller headlands and based on sediment characteristics and transport. The Shoalhaven coastal compartment is dominated by the Shoalhaven River which is responsible for delivering significant quantities of sediment to the beaches in the compartment; with sand transport to the north limited by the presence of Black Head and sand transport to the south blocked by Beecroft peninsula. Appendix B – DRAFT Shoalhaven CMP Scoping Study Advisian 4 of 78 McPherson et al. (2015) have delineated the coastline into similar sediment compartments when compared with those presented in Carvallo and Woodroffe (2015) – they identified secondary sediment compartments centred on the Shoalhaven River, Jervis Bay and a compartment between Ulladulla and Jervis Bay based on baseline reference data sets and a workshop with coastal experts.

  • Changes to Driver Licence Sanctions in Your CLSD Region
    Changes to Driver Licence Sanctions in Your CLSD Region In 2020, Revenue NSW introduced a hardship program focused on First Nations people and young people. As a result, the use of driver licence sanctions for overdue fine debt changed on Monday 28th September 2020 in some locations. How are overdue fines and driver licence sanctions related? If a person has overdue fines, their driver licence may be suspended. The driver licence suspension may be removed if the person: • pays a lump sum to Revenue NSW, or • enters a payment plan with Revenue NSW, or • is approved for a WDO. A driver licence suspension can be applied for multiple reasons, so even after being told that a driver licence suspension for unpaid fines has been removed, people should always double check that it is OK to drive by contacting Service NSW. Driver licence restrictions can also be put on interstate licences and cannot be removed easily. If you have a client in this situation, they should get legal advice. What has changed? Now, driver licence sanctions will not be imposed as a first response to unpaid fines for enforcement orders that were issued on or after 28 September 2020 to First Nations people and young people who live in the target locations. What are the target locations? Locations that the Australian Bureau of Statistics classifies as: • very remote, • remote • outer regional, and • Inner regional post codes where at least 9% of the population are First Nations People. Included target locations on the South Coast are the towns of Batemans Bay, Bega, Bodalla, Eden, Eurobodalla, Mogo, Narooma, Nowra Hill, Nowra Naval PO, Merimbula, Pambula, Tilba and Wallaga Lake.

  • NSW Vagrant Bird Review
    an atlas of the birds of new south wales and the australian capital territory Vagrant Species Ian A.W. McAllan & David J. James The species listed here are those that have been found on very few occasions (usually less than 20 times) in NSW and the ACT, and are not known to have bred here. Species that have been recorded breeding in NSW are included in the Species Accounts sections of the three volumes, even if they have been recorded in the Atlas area less than 20 times. In determining the number of records of a species, when several birds are recorded in a short period together, or whether alive or dead, these are here referred to as a ‘set’ of records. The cut-off date for vagrant records and reports is 31 December 2019. As with the rest of the Atlas, the area covered in this account includes marine waters east from the NSW coast to 160°E. This is approximately 865 km east of the coast at its widest extent in the south of the State. The New South Wales-Queensland border lies at about 28°08’S at the coast, following the centre of Border Street through Coolangatta and Tweed Heads to Point Danger (Anon. 2001a). This means that the Britannia Seamounts, where many rare seabirds have been recorded on extended pelagic trips from Southport, Queensland, are east of the NSW coast and therefore in NSW and the Atlas area. Conversely, the lookout at Point Danger is to the north of the actual Point and in Queensland but looks over both NSW and Queensland marine waters.

  • Ecological Studies on Illawarha Lake
    ECOLOGICAL STUDIES ON ILLAWARHA LAKE WITH SPECIAL REFERENCE TO Zostera capricorni Ascherson. By Malcolm McD. Harris, B.A. ( Univ. of New England, Armidale ) A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science of the University of New South Wales. School of Botany, University of New South Wales. January, 1977 UNIVERSITY OF N.S.W. 19851 16 SEP. 77 LIBRARY THIS IS TO CERTIFY that the work described in this thesis has not been submitted for a higher degree at any other university or institution. (iii) SUMMARY This thesis describes aspects of the ecology of Illawarra Lake, with special reference to the biology of the seagrass, Zostera capricomi Aschers. Observations were made from the air, from power boats, by wading and by SCUBA diving, over the period 1972 - 1976. Use has also been made of aerial photographs. The environmental factors studied include both sediment characteristics and water quality. Correlation coefficients have been calculated and used in the assessment of the functional relationships between the parameters examined. Reference has been made to corroborative evidence from a number of sources. The relationship between the distribution and biomass of the benthic flora of Illawarra Lake, and the selected environmental parameters, is examined. Seven other coastal saline lagoons were observed so that observations made and the conclusions drawn for Illawarra Lake, could be seen in the wider context. Long term observations and analyses have been made of the morphology, growth and flowering cycles of Z. capricomi. Evidence is presented showing some diagnostic features,used in published accounts to distinguish between Z.

  • Monitoring the Ecosystem Health of Estuaries on the NSW South Coast
    Monitoring the Ecosystem Health of Estuaries on the NSW South Coast D Wiecek 1, R Laine 1, M Edmonds 2, and S Pickering 3 1 NSW Office of Environment and Heritage, Wollongong, NSW 2 Eurobodalla Shire Council, NSW 3 Shoalhaven City Council, NSW Abstract Working with Councils to gain an improved understanding of the ecosystem health of estuaries is a key objective of the NSW Government Estuary Management Program, administered by the Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH). A well designed monitoring program can provide this understanding. Over the past few years both Shoalhaven City and Eurobodalla Shire Councils have embarked on additional estuary monitoring to enable them to provide baseline information on the ecosystem health of their respective estuaries. This information will also be used to help evaluate and report on the implementation of their estuary management plans (now termed coastal zone management plans), as well as inform ongoing management directions. Shoalhaven City and Eurobodalla Shire Councils’ estuary monitoring programs have historically centred on pressure indicators such as nutrients and/or bacterial sampling. Although very useful in monitoring pollution sources and recreational swimming quality, this has not provided Council with information sufficient to determine whether estuary ecosystem health is declining, being maintained or improving through initiatives such as implementation of estuary management plans. Both Councils recognised the need to modify their existing programs to fill this information gap in a scientifically robust and consistent manner. They now have two years of monitoring completed broadly in line with the monitoring and reporting protocols of the NSW Government Natural Resources Monitoring, Reporting and Evaluation (MER) Program (estuary theme).
