The process of developing new Coastal Management Programs for the Shire’s estuaries continues, with Council working with the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (OEH) to conduct a hydrographic survey of Eden’s Lake Curalo.
Planned to commence on Monday, 9 October, the survey work is expected to take a week to complete, as OEH and Council staff use all-terrain vehicles and a jet ski to access the estuary flat and main estuary channels of the lake.
The purpose of the survey is to map the lake bed and define underwater features such as sand shoals, with the information gleaned helping inform the Coastal Management Program for the lake.
The Coastal Management Programs will provide planning direction for the Wallaga Lake, Merimbula Lake, Back Lake, and Lake Curalo estuaries over the coming decade, consistent with the reformed coastal management framework in NSW.
Some of the key objectives of the new Coastal Management Programs include updating the understanding around estuary processes; considering how best to tackle the threats and pressures on the estuaries, and to protect and enhance their natural environment; and working with the community to find new opportunities for further improving the recreational amenity of the estuaries.
