Coastal Management Program for The Woolgoolga Region Estuaries
Community feedback regarding potential management actions
Coffs Harbour City Council is currently developing a Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the estuaries of Darkum Creek, Woolgoolga Lake, Willis Creek and Hearnes Lake. The purpose of the CMP will be to set the long term strategy for the management of the estuaries. It will set out a program of management actions designed to improve estuary health and manage the current and emerging issues.
We are now in Stage 3 of the CMP, which involves identifying actions that can address the various issues affecting the estuaries. The project team has been developing an initial long-list of potential actions - but we would also love the community to have a say in their management.
We are asking for your help to:
1. Provide feedback on the management actions that have been proposed by the project team to date. This will involve stepping through a brief description of each action, and then providing some feedback, including whether or not you would support the action.
2. Provide your suggestions and opinions for other potential management actions that you think should be included in the CMP.
Once the community feedback is received, this information will be used to help prioritise and rank management actions. This process will also include weighing up their various benefits and costs.
This process will identify the most effective, viable, and supported actions from the long list. The result will be a short-list of actions to be included in the CMP. The community will have another opportunity to provide feedback on the short list when the CMP goes to public exhibition in early 2022.
There are 21 Options to step through, and survey should take around 20 minutes to complete. The survey will be open until 15th July 2021.
