Cr John Wells has put forward a motion for council to apply for a five year licence to dredge the navigation channel at Shoalhaven Heads.

Cr Wells said in his motion the value of recently built infrastructure in Shoalhaven Heads was being diminished by the shallowing of the navigation channel and the condition of the beach.

"In my view the only way to economically source sand in the quantity required is to dredge," Cr Well said in the motion.

A note from the CEO said council did not have a budget for the necessary investigations and studies to take place let alone any works if it was approved.

After a house fire at a Shoalhaven Heads home last week in which a family and their three-year-old daughter lost everything, the Mayor is proposing council waive its waste fees for the family, with the tipping fees expected to cost the family $10,000.

Although contributions have already been made to the family in a GoFundMe page there are concerns the family doesn't have an insurance policy.

The mother was asleep in the Ravenscliffe Road home, opposite Shoalhaven Heads Public School, around 10.40am when she was woken by shrieking smoke alarms.

Last week Cr Greg Watson and Mayor Amanda Findley clashed over Greg Watson's notice of motion which asks Shoalhaven City Council to undertake hazard reduction in all bush managed by them.

The motion will be voted on by council for the first time tomorrow night and it will be a test to see if the majority of councillors support the motion by Cr Watson, which the Mayor described as "pure politicking".

Council is only responsible for around 1 per cent of bush fire managed land and said it already had plans to increase spending on hazard reduction from $140,000 to $200,000.

Cr Andrew Guile is proposing to remove section 15 from council's investment policy which requires council to "give preference to investing funds with financial institutions that do not invest in, or finance, the fossil fuel industry where the investment rate of interest is equivalent to other similar investments that may be on offer".

In his motion Cr Guile said the policy has affected the ability of council to diversify its assets and to spread risk by preferring sources other than those provided by institutions under the 'four pillars' banking policy.

Council's CEO suggested councillors hold their discussion on the topic until the December Strategy and Assets Committee.

The proposal to remove council funding and advertising in the Bush Telegraph created passionate commentary after it passed at last month's ordinary meeting.

Cr Joanna Gash said the Bush Telegraph had written many stories about her in the past but never got her opinion.

"What I will not tolerate is a politically motivated magazine which intimidates and bullies only a small section of councillors... that is fact," Cr Pakes said at the meeting.

Greens Crs John Levett, Kaye Gartner and Nina Digiglio have put forward a rescission motion but it will be difficult for them to pass it unless they can change the minds of two more councillors.
