Wollongong City Council news: 29 April 2023
To support community preparation ahead of the upcoming severe weather, we have four sites across the city where people can fill their own sandbags. Each site will be open from 12pm today (Saturday 29 April) and people will need to bring their own shovels.
Sand deliveries will be taking place across the morning at the four sandbag collection points:
- Rex Jackson Oval, Helensburgh
- Bellambi Boat Ramp overflow car park
- Fairy Meadow Beach car park
- Fred Finch Park Playground
Where sandbags aren’t available, the SES recommends the use of empty heavy-duty garbage bags, grocery bags, pillowcases or grain bags.
Please note: sand is supplied for residential use only.
Stay safe and if you do need to travel please drive to the conditions.
For information on how to prepare and what you should do to stay safe in floods and storms follow NSW SES and NSW SES Wollongong City Unit. If you need help during a flood or storm, call the SES on 132 500. If someone’s life is at risk, call 000.
