Stage 3 - Community Consultation - Project Update

Community consultation for Stage 3 of Shoalhaven’s Open Coast and Jervis Bay CMP is now complete. Extensive community input on potential management actions for consideration in the CMP was received during the consultation period via our online survey and mapping platforms (now closed). In total, Council received responses from 540 participants who provided over 1,300 responses on the 137 options via the Community Feedback mapping portal. Council also received over 200 comments and suggestions from the community via the suggestion portal.

Council would like to thank the community for providing valuable input. This feedback is now being used to help refine, assess and rank the various management actions. This has ensured Council is informed of the perspectives, values and priorities of the broader community.

Council will continue to inform the community of the progress of the Open Coast and Jervis Bay CMP and will advise on the next opportunity to provide feedback during the process.
