Potty sea wall tests

By Jo Kennett

RECENT WORK on the Mooball Creek mouth at Pottsville involved preliminary tests to help with the design of rock wall repairs, although the actual construction is not expected to take place for some time.

A Tweed Shire Council spokesperson told The Weekly that council was “digging test pits to confirm the depth of the existing rock wall” .

“This was investigation work, not construction,” the spokesperson said.

“We were doing this to get further verification of the level of the wall base to finalise the design for the repair of the training walls.

“Design work is expected to be completed in the next few weeks.

“Construction is still some time off as council awaits approval from various state government agencies on the project, a process which is expected to take several months.”
