Have your say - Open Coast and Jervis Bay CMP Stage 4

The Open Coast and Jervis Bay Coastal Management Program (CMP) is now on public exhibition for community consultation until 2 February 2024 as part of Stage 4 of the CMP development. The Open Coast and Jervis Bay CMP covers a study area that includes beaches located along the 165 km of coastline managed by Council - from Shoalhaven Heads in the north, to North Durras in the south. Estuary areas within the Shoalhaven are not included in the study area for this CMP and will be addressed in separate CMPs.

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 to be implemented 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. For ease of viewing, specific management actions related to the various regions of the Shoalhaven Local Government Area (LGA) coastline can be viewed using the links below:
