Stage 2 Reports Now Available

Council is pleased to share the final Stage 2 Reports for the Sussex Inlet, St Georges Basin, Swan Lake and Berrara Creek Coastal Management Programs (CMPs).

The purpose of Stage 2 of the CMP development process is to determine risks, vulnerabilities and opportunities for the CMP study area. Stage 2 is a technical stage that requires gathering the background information, developing a conceptual model, defining the coastal hazards within the area, and modelling and mapping the region to create a risk assessment based on the hazard mapping models. Stage 2 requires the studies identified in the Shoalhaven CMP Scoping Study to be undertaken.

The following Stage 2 reports are published in the 'Document Library' on this web page:

• Stage 2 Synthesis Report
• Tidal and Coastal Inundation Study Report (main document) and Appendices
• Foreshore Erosion Assessment
• Water Quality and Estuary Health Study:
  • St Georges Basin and Sussex Inlet
  • Berrara Creek
  • Swan Lake
• Stage 2 Detailed Risk Assessment
• Swan Lake and Berrara Creek Entrance Management Review
