Ettalong NSW Dredging Campaign – 2026

In 2026, McQuade Marine successfully delivered a targeted dredging campaign at Ettalong, NSW, aimed at restoring safe and reliable navigational access within the local waterway. The works focused on removing accumulated sediment and shoaling that had impacted vessel movements, particularly within key access channels and high-use boating areas.

Utilising modern dredging equipment and efficient sediment management practices, the project was completed with minimal disruption to the surrounding environment and local community. Careful planning and execution ensured compliance with environmental guidelines, while improving water depths and overall channel functionality.

The Ettalong campaign supports ongoing regional efforts to maintain safe boating access, enhance maritime operations, and protect coastal infrastructure. McQuade Marine’s delivery highlights its capability in small-to-medium scale maintenance dredging projects across NSW coastal and estuarine environments.
