Lake Macquarie council has developed a draft Coastal Zone Management Plan 2015-2023, which aims to preserve the coastline, estuary and channel, and keep our community safe from environmental threats.
The council has developed a range of proposed actions to be undertaken over the next four years, which will sustain and improve the health of our coastal zone while maintaining community access and recreation at these areas.
To learn more about the plan, join us this Saturday at Club Macquarie for the first of four workshops designed to provide information about the draft plan, while answering any questions you might have.

The council also recently supported a request from the lord mayor of Wollongong to write to Prime Minister Tony Abbott, urging him to take account of the threat posed by climate change and request that he place climate change, and its consequences on the agenda for the G20 meeting in Brisbane this weekend.
