Tree removal works at Jindabyne water supply intake from next month

Published on 13 December 2024

Following a recent assessment, Council has scheduled the removal of pine trees to protect the main Jindabyne water intake facility. 

A total of 24 of these non-native conifers from the large stand of trees surrounding the facility will be removed in stages, starting Monday 20 January 2025. Weather permitting, work will be completed by early February 2025.

Only the trees growing too close to the intake, which could fall and damage this essential piece of infrastructure, are set to be removed.

The shared trail passing by the site will remain open during this work, with cyclist dismount points and some delays for trail users expected. Jindabyne's water supply will continue to operate as normal during this time.

Walkers and riders hitting the trail in January and February are asked to observe all posted signage and follow the direction of work crews. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to protect Jindabyne’s drinking water.
