Moy Estuary Feasibility Study - Public Consultation Document
Ballina Lions Club are preparing a feasibility study on the Moy Estuary and Quay Area of Ballina. Ballina Lions Club work to support the efforts of voluntary, business and community groups in Ballina to enhance the economic, social, cultural and community well-being of the area.
A public consultation process is now taking place. The study will carry out a full assessment of the commercial, touristic, community and social benefits and uses of the Moy Estuary. It will take on board the interests and views of the local communities and businesses on how new initiatives can be developed. The ultimate aim is to ensure that the natural resource of the Moy Estuary are developed in a sustainable way to ensure it retains and returns value to the local community from a commercial, social and environmental perspective.
The public consultation process is an important stage of the study, recognising the input and responsibility of community, business and statutory stakeholders have in its development. It recognises the need for all stakeholders to work together to implement policies and deliver any subsequent actions.
An overriding principle of any developments will be that they are strongly focused on protecting and preserving the outstanding universal value of the Estuary while allowing it to be accessible to local communities and visitors to experience and enjoy its cultural, natural and heritage richness.
The objectives of the study when complete are:
1. Present a full review and feasibility of the ecological, commercial, social tourism, economic, community uses, benefits, values that can be developed at the Moy estuary
2. Identification of suitable projects and outline a development plan indicating finance, development path and justification of each project.

5 Identify likely sources of support including funding, the development partners and operational requirements
