Estuary – boat ramp • We are looking at solutions with WBOPDC for fixing the boat ramp at Ororoa Reserve • The ramp was included in Council’s recent coastal and marine condition assessment inspection • It will be repaired in the first half of 2020 (indications are between April – June)
Estuary - erosion • Significant erosion has occurred along the estuary marginal strip between the surf club and Ororoa Reserve in particular • We are working with WBOPDC consultant Geoff Canham, DOC and BOPRC to secure approx. $30,000 for remedial works from the surf club to 50m south of the boat ramp initially, including the rock walls from 654 - 662.
