Lower Shoalhaven River Coastal Management Program (CMP) is now on public exhibition

The Lower Shoalhaven River Coastal Management Program (CMP) is now on public exhibition for community consultation until 2 December 2024 as part of Stage 4 of the CMP development. The Lower Shoalhaven River CMP covers a study area that comprises the coastal zone within the lower catchments of the Shoalhaven and Crookhaven Rivers. It also includes the intermittently open and closed entrance area at Shoalhaven Heads. Coomonderry Swamp, Saltwater Swamp and Brundee Swamp are also included in this study area.

Stage 4 involves public exhibition of the draft CMP document, incorporating details from the technical studies and stakeholder feedback received from previous consultations completed throughout Stages 1 to 3 of the CMP process. The draft CMP encompasses a detailed program that lists the management actions for implementation over the next 10 years - including a schedule of when actions will be planned for implementation, their associated costs, how they will be funded, and who will be responsible for their implementation.

The draft CMP document can be accessed through the document library on this Get Involved webpage.

Please provide your feedback by completing the Online Survey on this web page by 11:59 pm, 2 December 2024.

Alternatively, should you have any questions on the draft CMP, or would like to provide feedback via email, please contact the Coastal Management Unit - coastal.management@shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au, or call Council on 1300 293 111. Council will also be running two in-person information sessions where you can meet the project team who have developed the draft CMP and find out how this will be implemented. Further details regarding these sessions will be provided on Get Involved shortly.
