Community group calls for support for masterplan
The Bays Community Group is urging local residents to make a submission to the draft Hawkesbury Nepean River Coastal Management Program.
It is seeking support for the Phegans Bay Foreshore Masterplan, an "action item in this draft".
"The implementation of our Masterplan has been included by our Council as an action item in this draft," said Group president Mr Sam Bunyan.
"However, the success of the Masterplan action item remaining in the final adopted Program depends upon the amount of community support.
"Therefore, to give our project the best chance we can, we need your voices heard."
Mr Bunyan said the Hawkesbury Nepean River Coastal Management Program is a separate project that is running independent of our Masterplan.
"It is a comprehensive and overarching initiative aimed at managing the tidal reaches of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River System and its associated estuaries and beaches, including Pittwater, Broken Bay, and Brisbane Water.
"This program outlines strategies for the immediate future and sets long-term planning goals (20, 50, and 100 years) to address various challenges, including those posed by climate change."
He said the draft was open for comment until Sunday, November 24.
He said there would also be local drop-in sessions to provide feedback.
"These sessions have been arranged under the Program project for you to discuss any existing or proposed options with project members of the Program."
Drop-in sessions will be held from 9am to 12pm on Saturday, October 26, at The Bays RFS Brigade, at 17 Wattle Cr, Phegans Bay.
They would also be held at the Brisbane Water Oyster Festival from 10am to 4pm on Sunday, November 10, at Lions Park, and again at Lions Park for the "Lakes Festival Gather and Groove" from 4pm to 10pm on Saturday, November 16.
The project team is also expected to be at the Woytopia festival at Woy Woy South Public School on Sunday, October 13.
