Consultation
on State Coastal Management Plan
The State
coastal plan describes how the coastal zone is to be managed as required
by the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995. Policies for managing
the major coastal issues are detailed under the following topic headings:
- coastal use and development;
- physical coastal processes (the effects of waves,
tides, currents and coastal storms);
- public access to the coast;
- water quality;
- Indigenous traditional owner cultural resources
- cultural heritage;
- coastal landscapes;
- conserving nature;
- coordinated management; and
- research and information.
The State
coastal plan provides coastal management policy direction and defines how
these directions should be implemented by government, industry and the community.
If you would
