As Central Coast Council develops a new Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the entire region it is looking for input from residents with a series of pop-up sessions planned for coming weeks.
The CMP will be one holistic document certified by the NSW Government to guide management decisions and funding priorities for the next 10 years.
“Our objective is to manage the coastal environment in a manner that is consistent with the principles of ecologically sustainable development for the social, cultural and economic well-being of the people of the Central Coast,” a spokesperson said.
“We’re just about to start stage three of this five-stage process and would love as much input from our community as possible.
“This round of information gathering will be used to ensure our draft management options are guided by scientific evidence and community values.
“Your input will help optimise coastal management for the well-being of both our community and the environment – so tell us your concerns, ideas, wants and needs related to our beautiful beaches.
“Your participation is highly valued, and we’re eager to involve you in this important discussion.”
Pop in sessions will be held at: Terrigal Boardwalk – Friday, January 12, 3-6pm; Avoca Surf Life Saving Club – Saturday, January 13, 9am-noon; Toowoon Bay Surf Life Saving Club – Friday, January 19, 9am-noon; Memorial Park, The Entrance – Saturday, January 27, 3-6pm; Soldiers Beach Surf Life Saving Club – Saturday, February 3, 9am-noon; and Killcare Surf Life Saving Club – Saturday, February 10, 9am-noon.
Input can also be given online at https://centralcoastcouncil.mysocialpinpoint.com/opencoastcmp#/

No wall on Wamberal beach ,CCC please stop spending rate payer $ on joint DA’s with beachfront home owners . A council under administration should not be making these decisions! Wait until there is a democratically elected council !Wamberal Beach rally Sunday 21/1 at noon .
yes
I live in Coledale nsw
Council has allocated half the beaches in Coledale to dog friendly beach
The dog owners use all the beaches
Even swimming their dogs in the public swimming pools
Wollongong council does nothing other than signage to protect endangered and protected sooty oyster eaters.
The dog rangers drive around in heavily signed van while illegal dumping rangers have unmarked car
Showing they don’t want to do anything about damage dogs do to beaches
The other issue we have in the local area is councill allowing illegal camping
People camp where no toilets are
again council puts up signage about no camping and fines for breaches but does nothing about it
This statement is non vexatious as I have photos to show issues
85 Ocean Parade The Entrance NSW Crown land and improving community amenity and access to an under utilised property on the Ocean front. There is constant plan discussions circulating from the Surf Club members about plans for this site. The immediate local community would benefit from this site being made more park like with improved beach access for all. It is currently maintained by a neighbour of the property.. it is not kept tidy or improved by the Surf Club who already have premises in the centre of the beach that could be better utilised. I would like to know how we the community will be involved in the future plans of this property. I am looking forward to knowing the future for this crown land.
Council support to include a cinema/ arts space at The Entrance. As the area is rapidly developing access to the cinema and shows is a priority for the community connections and well being.
Please consider a way to save our cinema it is greatly missed by many.
