Build a break wall like other coastal locations. Boats and marine creatures would frequent the waterway. Another option would be to close the Booker Bay channel. There’s really no difference.

At 81 years of age I have watched the Entrance being stuffed up by people manipulating the flow for the purpose of making money. It was once a fast flowing and very wide opening. The problem is man made.

maybe the council would like to pay the insurance claims & expenses they have duty of care that might be heard via a class action against a case of negligence

if you go back to 1940s and fifty
the old fisher men told concil that if they build the wall along the south side of the entrance the lake will sand up and it sure has .the lake is noting like it was in the 1950s was much better then.

Hi. When will Central Coast Council listen to their Constituents and take the Entrance Channel opening seriously.
I am sure The Little Terns will nest and breed anywhere on the Northern end of the Channel.
Make The Ocean more accessible to boat owners by opening The Channel with a permanent opening at the same time making the Lakes healthier and cleaner by allowing a good flow of Ocean in and out of the Lakes. The present Philosophy regarding the Natural movement of Sand and Tides in and around the Channel opening is flawed.
If the present Philosophy is to let Nature take its Course . Why was the Groyne built to save The Entrance Beach . Why not let Nature take its course and wash The Entrance Beach into The Channel. Why did we interfere?
Pull your collective heads out of the sand and build a permanent opening at the mouth of the channel. Make it wide deep enough for Local Boaters and Tourist Boaters to access the Ocean. This would boost Tourism. It would ease Flooding and keep The Lakes healthy.
