Council is preparing a coastal management program (CMP) which sets the long-term strategy for the management of the coast between Crowdy Head and Wallabi Point.
A number of coastal management issues have been identified and options to address them
As a member of the focus group, you will:
- receive detailed information about the management options (around 100 pages total);
- attend a two-hour meeting in Taree (this involves a one-hour presentation of the management options and time for you to assess each option against set criteria).
Participating in this group will give you a chance to have your say, to represent your community and play a direct role in supporting the future management of our coastline.

This is a simple project even if you have never beaded before. When completed, the zipper pulls will be gifted to a local charity as Mothers' Day gifts.
Term 2 includes some interesting workshops, all of which are directed towards helping others.
