Council is embarking on the next stage of the lengthy process to develop a Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the entirety of our coast, as required by the State Government.

Stage 3 involves identifying and evaluating potential actions resulting from earlier stages.

“We want to ensure that each of the 17 proposed actions are practical, realistic and affordable for Council, Government agencies, and our community to achieve,” says a Council spokesperson.

Actions range from controlling pests and weeds to improving coastal amenities and facilities on public land to reduce risks and conflicts.

In addition to offering traditional drop-in sessions for you to provide feedback on each of the actions, it is also utilising an online ‘ideas wall’ developed with the State Government.

“This allows you to comment and ‘like’ or ‘dislike’ each of the proposed actions individually,” says the spokesperson.

Drop-in sessions at The Pavilion Kiama:

Thurs 18 May, 5-7pm and Fri 19 May, 9-11am.
