Stabilisation works at the iconic Bogey Hole could be all wrapped up just in time for summer with another round of funds from the state government.
Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald has announced $240,000 for cliff stabilisation works which will start in September.
This last stage of stablisation works will make the completion of the $490,000 project to improve public safety and access to the site. The work over the next month will focus on the East End entrance.
"Focusing on the eastern end access road putting in some retaining walls and improving fencing and drainage - it's the last part of the major works they will begin in September and work will take about four weeks," said Scot MacDonald.
He was out in the blowy conditions this morning to make the announcement and says the work won't impact the public's access to the swimming hole.
"The swimming hole will stay open during that time so when the whether warms up again - it's very blowy and very windy now though - but it'll remain open since its a popular swimming hole so it should be good for Spring and Summer."
