Public meeting to discuss coastal management
A public meeting to discuss the Hawkesbury Nepean River System Coastal Management Program will be held by the Peninsula Residents Association on Thursday, November 14.
It will be held in room 5 at the Peninsula Community Centre, 93 McMasters Rd, Woy Woy, and "all are welcome".
The meeting will look at what is proposed for the Peninsula under the Program?
A list of questions for discussion has been circulated:
Why has a seawall ("terminal protective structure") been proposed for Ocean Beach, when it was previously identified as "stable"?
Where do the other proposals for Ocean and Umina beaches come from? The vegetation and dune management strategy? Beach renourishment? Beach maintenance?
How much are they projected to cost?
What about works for the Rip Rd Reserve, Blackwall; at Lara St, Koolewong, in Woy Woy Bay; or the seawall at Memorial Park, Woy Woy?
What about Patonga?
Are all the local coastal management issues addressed in enough detail? Tidal erosion? Water quality?
The association has also provided links to a number of relevant documents that are available online.
These include a 2012 Brisbane Water plan (http://penne.ws/M7klhZ), a 2014 coastal processes study (http://penne.ws/hKztG) and a 2019 erosion strategy (http://penne.ws/ffg7e).
Details of Phegans Bay and Woy Woy waterfront plans can be found at http://penne.ws/U6RV57 and http://penne.ws/vKsKw5.
Entry to the public meeting is free but those attending are asked to book online at http://penne.ws/3Xk9Dy to give an indication of numbers.
The association will use input from the meeting for its submission to the Program consultation, which closes on November 24.
