For more than a decade, the St Georges Basin Estuary Management Plan has guided how the waterways and surrounding environment of ‘The Basin’ and Sussex Inlet have been managed. To ensure the plan stays relevant, Council is again working with the community and NSW Government agencies to review the plan.
As part of the review, Council needs to know whether there have been any changes to the things that people value about the Basin and the Inlet, or to the things that need to be managed.
The information gathered in the survey below will help to update St Georges Basin Estuary Management Plan, a draft of which will be exhibited for public comment later this year.
Please complete the survey by Friday 21st August 2009.
For more information on this project please contact Peter Dalmazzo at Council’s Natural Resources & Floodplain Management Unit on 4429 3392, or email council@shoalhaven.nsw.gov.au
