Lake Conjola Boardwalk Update
6 December 2016
The following email has been received from Isabelle Ghetti, Manager Natural Resources and Floodplain, Shoalhaven City Council
Dear Lake Conjola CCB,
I am pleased to advise that the test excavations recently conducted did not expose any Aboriginal objects. This means that construction of the boardwalk will start late February/early March 2017. Contractor, Agtrans Services, has been engaged by Council to carry out the works. It is anticipated that the boardwalk will be fully built by the end of June/early July 2017 subject to weather conditions and no Aboriginal objects being found during the works........
The boardwalk route is shown in orange colour in the following document (NB: This is a large document - 4Mb)

Porters Creek Dam Remediation - Road Opening 2 Dec 2016
Published 22 Nov 2016
The following email advice has been received from Robert Horner, Water Asset Planning & Development Manager Shoalhaven Water:
"Council’s Shoalhaven Water Group wishes to inform you that Porters Creek road will reopen on 2 December 2016. Please be aware that some construction traffic movement may occur for a short period after the reopening.
The road closure was implemented from 23 August 2016 to facilitate the reduction of safety risks to the public and the Project’s personnel. The road closure involved limiting the public traffic west of Graydons Pointer Road, therefore not impeding usual access to local residents.
This major project will ensure the ongoing reliability of the Porters Creek Dam. The project included sealing 3.6km of unsealed road from Princes Highway to Graydons Pointer Road, as a means for dust suppression during construction. Construction is currently in the final stages and restoration activities are now commencing.
Council’s Shoalhaven Water Group would like to thank you for your patience during the Porters Creek Dam remediation works.
If you need further information about this matter, please contact the undersigned, on (02) 4429 3223 or Laurie Andrew, Project Site Supervisor on 0423 004 132. Please quote Council’s reference 48043E/5 (D16/356051).

Published 30 Sep 2016

Conjola Boardwalk Replacement
Published 11 Aug 2016
The following advice has been received from Ben Stewart, Director of Assets and Works, Shoalhaven City Council:-
The Boardwalk will progress into construction following resolution of the Aboriginal Heritage Investigations which are likely to take more than 3 months and this is dependent on the time to gain approval for test pitting.
There is archaeological test pitting associated with the proposal to replace the wooden boardwalk at Lake Conjola, between the car park and Conjola Beach. The boardwalk is located in sand dunes where Aboriginal sites have been recorded previously (including skeletal remains which were recorded and salvaged in 1998) but their boundaries uncertain. An Aboriginal Heritage Impact Permit (AHIP) has been sought from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) to conduct archaeological investigations in this location. Changes were made to redesign the boardwalk to avoid the culturally sensitive area identified during Stage 2 and Stage 3 consultations
