Northern Beaches Council (NBC ) along with 5 other councils (Central Coast, Ku-ring-gai, Hornsby Shire, The Hills Shire and Hawkesbury City) have come together, in partnership with the NSW Government to develop a coordinated, whole-of-catchment approach to managing the Hawkesbury‑Nepean river system (including Pittwater).
NBC want our / your feedback to help shape a Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the river system.
The Hawkesbury‑Nepean River System is one of the most important natural assets in NSW. From Broken Bay to Yarramundi, the Hawkesbury–Nepean River System covers over 145 km of tidal waterways, including Pittwater and Brisbane Water. It supports biodiversity, recreation, cultural heritage and local communities. It also faces increasing pressure from flooding, erosion, climate change and population growth.
The CMP sets out a 10-year program of actions to:
- improve water quality and ecosystem health
- reduce coastal hazard risks
- protect cultural heritage values
- enhance recreational access and amenity
- strengthen governance across the river system.
