As you can see from current photo (taken January 2022), the condi on on the Tomaga River bank is in very poor condi on. Erosion is substan al, to the point that safety and welfare of residents/visitors is compromised, and Mari me signage has been undermined. The bank is extremely close to breaking through and the river will be changed forever. Impacts: The obvious and minor concerns are safety/integrity of the walkways, Mari me signage, boat ramp structure. The major issue is the complete structural break down of the sand spit itself with the Tomakin Bay (beach) breaking through to the Tomaga River at the Eastern Point (see site plan). This catastrophic failure would compromise the WHOLE Tomaga River (both eastern and western ends) and destroy the water way which thousands of people enjoy every year.

The impacts would include but not be limited to: Environmental:

Social: Animal and bird sanctuary destroyed/damaged. Major impacts to exis ng water way, dal changes.

Economic: Safety of the River for water sports/swimming. Compromised swimming water sports access.

Pe on: One of the safest East facing river mouth entries would be destroyed to boa ng and water sports.

A major tourist a rac on. Boa ng/water sport access 100% compromised. Commercial impact to local business suppor ng the Boa ng/sailing community. Think kayak and

SUP hire, bait and tackle shops, local cafes etc. Impact on Tourism in general.

We are looking for like minded individuals to assist in the pe on to have Eurobodalla Council rec fy the issue IMMEDIATELY.

The pe on will be submi ed to the Mayor of Eurobodalla Shire Council and the State Member for the area, (currently Mr Andrew Constance). Our goal is the State Government and Local Government to work in conjunc on to rec fy the issue asap before it becomes too late. THANK YOU!

We have come a long way since 7 February 2007 and have survived Bush Fires, Floods and Lockdowns. Vol 16 September 15th 2017 Tonight, marks the 739th run since the event began. David Connaughton started 27 February 2008 and he Vol 28 December 7th, 2017 Vol 48 April 27th 2018 has par cipated in 573 of these events. However, tonight, he is laid low as a Covid close contact. Runners going past his place could see him gazing sorrowfully out the window. There were 80 starters this evening and the quality was certainly on show with excellent mes in all three events. In the 2 kilometres the top five were under 8 minutes and in the 3.5 kilometres Cameron Lunn, a er a long absence, recorded his best me of 16.39. In the 5-kilometres the top five were under 20 minutes. In the 2-kilometres PBs were recorded by Eddie Olah, William Smith, Karen Harding-Smith, Alby Clark, Eli and Sco Melgaard, and Lilly Cecere. In the 3.5Kilometres besides Cameron Lunn another runner named Niamh Scahill recorded a PB. In the 5-kilometres Andrew Olah and Yvonne Carter recorded personal best mes. Because we could not have Dave we were lucky to have a good subs tute with the new Mayor of the Eurobodalla shire, Ma Hatcher, turn up to record his 3rd run with the group.
