Consultation history
Oyster Bay and its surrounding waterways are much loved in the Sutherland Shire and enjoyed by residents and visitors alike. These areas are vital to our community, providing both recreational enjoyment and natural beauty. Proactive and sustainable management of the catchment and its tributaries is essential to protect and enhance this cherished area.
To support this, Council is preparing a Waterway Management Plan, to inform how the catchment is used, managed and monitored moving forward.
The study area for the Plan encompasses the Oyster Bay Catchment including Oyster Creek and Kareela Creek. Council has engaged Rhelm Pty Ltd to support us deliver this important plan for Oyster Bay.
As we develop the Plan, we are actively engaging with our community to understand what is important to you. We will gather feedback on how the waterway is used, its social and environmental values, and any concerns or ideas you may have. This input, along with our research on the health of the waterway, will help shape a management strategy that reflects the needs and interests of our community, while ensuring the waterway remains healthy and enjoyable for all.
Have your say (closed)
Your feedback, along with our research on waterway health, will help shape a strategy that balances community needs and ensures the ongoing enjoyment and health of the waterways.
