Central Coast Council is hosting a series of community pop-ups along the foreshore this month to provide residents with an opportunity to share concerns, ideas or ask questions related to the Tuggerah Lakes Estuary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Council Director of Environment and Planning, Alice Howe said these community engagement sessions are part of Council\u2019s commitment to working collaboratively with the community in alignment with the recommendations from the Tuggerah Lakes Expert Panel. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cCouncil has a holistic and scientific approach to managing the Tuggerah Lakes estuary, with primary objectives focusing on protecting the estuaries\u2019 water quality, plants and biodiversity, as well as meeting the social and economic needs of the community \u2013 which is outlined in the Tuggerah Lakes Estuary Management Plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are now reviewing and updating this plan to develop our new Estuary Management Program, and these community engagement sessions and further engagement this year will provide valuable input to help with its development.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Upcoming pop-up events:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Council Administrator Rik Hart said the protection and conservation of the Coast\u2019s rich environment, including Tuggerah Lakes, is important to both Council and our community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe strategic management of Tuggerah Lakes has been an ongoing partnership between all levels of government, estuary and coastal management experts, and the community,\u201d Mr Hart said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI encourage interested residents to come along and speak to Council staff and further contribute to the co-creation of actions to help protect and restore the estuary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
