A much-needed expanded dredging program to clear the mouth of the Myall River is slated to take place in early 2025 once a slew of environmental and bureaucratic concerns have been addressed.

The state government provided $2.5 million in January for emergency dredging of the river's navigational channel following concerns that the passageway was in imminent risk of closing over.
