The state government has provided a further $768,000 to Newcastle Council as the fight to restore Stockton Beach continues.
Local Government Minister, Shelly Hancock says the money will be used to investigate the suitability and feasibility of delivering sand dredged from the South Arm of the Hunter River estuary to potentially deliver mass sand nourishment to the beach.
The latest funding commitment is part of five current funding streams from the government's Coastal and Estuary Grants Program, helping to fund the restoration of the eroded beachfront.
