Lord Mayor's column: Focusing on Infrastructure

Key points

• Works to stabilise and protect the Windang foreshore will start in early 2027, backed by a combined $8 million from Wollongong City Council and the NSW Government. Lord Mayor Tania Brown said the work addresses shoreline erosion linked to breakwater construction in 2007, though it will not solve every problem at the lake.
• Separately, the Christmas 2026 timeframe was confirmed for the current stage of West Dapto Road works.
• Councillors voted to formally object to a proposed reallocation of financial assistance grants that would cost the council $16 million.
