Introduction

Coffs Harbour City Council has recently started the working on a Coastal Management Program development for the Corindi River and Pipe Clay Lake with the support of the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment. The Program will contain Council’s long-term plan for the ongoing sustainable management of these two estuaries.
