Sandbag collection points ahead of severe weather – Wollongong

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.
