Attention turning to coastal zone management plan

Long-term management of the Kingscliff coastal zone will take centre stage at the Kingscliff Matters shopfront from next week.

Details of the draft Kingscliff Coastal Zone Management Plan will be on display and Natural Resource Management staff will be on hand to discussion the plan from 21 March to 1 April.

The plan addresses issues including erosion and protection of assets along the foreshore.

“The Kingscliff coastline has been subjected to a number of severe erosion events in recent years, requiring numerous measures to restore beaches and protect buildings and infrastructure,” Council’s Natural Resource Management Coordinator, Jane Lofthouse, said.

“This plan follows a series of studies and strategies to understand and manage the impacts on the coastline along the Tweed and at Kingscliff in particular.

“This can be a complex issue and the display at the Kingscliff Matters shopfront is a chance to explain the processes that impact on the beaches and how they can be managed to pursue each of the community’s objectives.”
