Lake Jindabyne foreshore rehabilitation and restoration works

Project Type: Rehabilitation and restoration works

Project Location: Jindabyne

Funding: Australian Government and NSW Government’s joint Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) grant program

Current update - June 2025

Restoration works for Lake Jindabyne foreshore erosion and bank stability protections that were damaged during the period of high lake water levels in 2022 and 2023.

Contractors began working across two sites in Jindabyne to rebuild the damaged foreshore rock batters on Wednesday 11 June 2025. Weather permitting, these works are expected to be complete by the start of August 2025.

The first worksite is located at Lake Jindabyne Sailing Club, with crews moving on to the second location off McLure Circuit between Leo Barry Park and the caravan park once work at the first site is complete.

Work hours will be between 8am and 5pm on weekdays. Worksites will be closed to the public during this time.

Footpaths and pedestrian access to the foreshore will remain open.

Council will update the community if there are any changes to the project schedule, or the expected start of August completion date (weather permitting).

These works are the final local grant-funded restorations made possible by the Australian Government and NSW Government’s joint Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) grant program.

Council was awarded this DRFA funding to address damage to public areas of the Lake Jindabyne foreshore, following the extended period of inundation due to high lake water levels throughout 2022 and 2023.

Once complete, this rehabilitation and restoration project will help protect the foreshore area from the effects of future flooding, and improve public safety and visual amenity in the vicinity of these erosion embankments.
