The plan shall provide the basis for future management and strategic landuse planning of the Coffs Harbour coastal zone, to provide for growth and development without putting at risk the natural, cultural and heritage values of the coast. The Coffs Harbour Local Government Area (LGA) is situated on the NSW north coast approximately halfway between Sydney and Brisbane. The coastline extends for nearly 80 km, and includes numerous beaches of small to medium length. Beach erosion events have occasionally threatened Coffs Harbour’s beaches in the past. Ongoing recession has also been experienced on beaches north of Coffs Harbour. The interruption of natural northerly sediment transport by the harbour construction has resulted in recession of the shoreline to the north, with the most substantial retreat (25 - 100 m) experienced at Park and Campbells Beaches. To address ongoing recession, coastline management plans were completed for Park Beach and Campbells Beach in 1998 and 1999, respectively. This Coffs Harbour CZMP shall update these plans and provide a consistent management approach across the LGA, focussing upon areas at greatest risk from coastal hazards. The mid north coast is expected to experience a population growth rate of ~ 1.1% per year over the next 25 years. This growth rate is amongst the highest in regional NSW, with Coffs Harbour expected to support a high proportion of the North Coast population growth target (DP, 2009). Coffs Harbour City Centre is planned as a regional centre and Woolgoolga as a major town on the Mid North Coast. Existing and future development (residential and recreational) within the coastal zone will require careful consideration of the likelihood and consequence from coastal hazards, including climate change impacts, to ensure development is undertaken as appropriate to the level of risk at present and in the future. This shall reduce the liability of Council from poorly planned or inappropriate development in the coastal zone, given the known risks. Furthermore, the beaches of Coffs Harbour are a major focus for recreation and are the basis for much of the tourism in the region. The beaches of Coffs offer a range of recreational opportunities, from untouched and unpatrolled natural beaches (such as Moonee and Bongil), to more accessible, patrolled beaches with more highly developed recreational facilities (such as Park and Sawtell beaches). Given the high social importance of Coffs beaches to the resident population and visiting tourists, both of which support a range of businesses directly and indirectly, there is additionally an economic imperative to preserve the sandy beach and dune environment. Council therefore resolved to prepare a Coastal Zone Management Plan for the Coffs Harbour coastline, to define the level of risk from coastal hazards and provide a co-ordinated approach to K:\N2017_COFFS_CZMP\DOCS\R.N2017.001.04.CZMP.FINAL.DOCX INTRODUCTION 2 management of coastal hazards. This report documents the Management Plan component of the Coffs Harbour Coastal Zone Management Plan. 1.1.1 Objectives of the Coffs Harbour CZMP The objectives and principles for this CZMP are aligned with the goals and objectives of the NSW Coastal Policy 1997, and the objectives of the Coastal Protection Act 1979 and former NSW Sea Level Rise Policy Statement 2009. The objectives of the plan are to: 1. Recognise and accommodate natural coastal processes and hazards, and outline strategies to deal with threats to existing development and to ensure new development is not exposed to such threats; 2. Incorporate the effects of climate change (including sea level rise and changes to storm intensity and frequency) within the hazard assessment, and prepare actions to manage high risks that arise due to climate change; 3. Provide for the management of redevelopment or new developments to ensure that the value of assets at risk is not increased, with provisions for scale and setback of redevelopment to additionally ensure the aesthetic or ecological values of the coastline are not compromised; 4. Guide the development of design and planning standards and guidelines to control the height, scale and setback of development to protect public access and ensure beaches and foreshores are not overshadowed; 5.

The NSW Solitary Islands Marine Park was the first marine park declared in NSW. Located on the Coffs Coast, the park covers more than 70,000 hectares and 100 kilometres of coastline from the northern side of Muttonbird Island at Coffs Harbour north to Plover Island at the entrance to the Sandon River. It extends from the mean high water mark and upper tidal limits of coastal estuaries and lakes, seaward to the three nautical mile limit of NSW waters and includes the entire seabed. The Solitary Islands Marine Park (Commonwealth waters) covers 15,200 hectares on the seaward side of the NSW Solitary Islands Marine Park, out to the 50 metre depth contour. The Solitary Islands Marine Park (Commonwealth waters) is managed in partnership by the NSW Department of Primary Industries (DPI) Fisheries and Parks Australia. The NSW Solitary Islands Marine Park management rules protect the marine biodiversity of the area while supporting a wide range of social, cultural and economic values.

As you can see there was no need for the 'bridge' when this picture was taken in mid February. The creek had ceased to flow, but I had never seen the waterholes so depleted. I know there was a major drought in the Clarence, and none worse affected than Pillar Valley, but I was still surprised at the dramatic drop in the level of water in these permanent waterholes. It so happens that the crown land is right next to the Pacific Highway upgrade As can be see there was no need for a 'bridge' when this picture (forest now cleared right up was taken in mid February. The creek had ceased to flow. to the crown land boundary), so I went to check on my way out, and guess what the RMS has done? 200m down-stream of the log crossing, the RMS has installed a great big pump and were drawing the last remaining water out of the billabong to suppress dust and help pack down the new road foundations. What the Hell is the 3 year's supply of water stored at Shannon Creek for? Nobody else is using it, and trucks could simply hook up to a hydrant in Tucabia without destroying the riverine habitat.

    Accessory Publication The Mesoveliidae, Hebridae, and Hydrometridae of Australia (Hemiptera, Heteroptera, Gerromorpha) with a reanalysis of the phylogeny of semiaquatic bugs Nils Møller AndersenA and Tom A. WeirB AZoological Museum, University of Copenhagen, Universitetsparken 15, DK-2100 Copenhagen, Denmark. BCSIRO Entomology, GPO Box 1700, Canberra ACT 2601, Australia. Email: [email protected] Abstract The semiaquatic bugs (Hemiptera-Heteroptera, infraorder Gerromorpha), comprising water striders and their allies, are familiar inhabitants of water surfaces in all continents. Currently, the world fauna has more than 1,900 described species classified in eight families and 165 genera.A phylogenetic analysis using maximum parsimony was performed on a dataset comprising 56 morphological characters scored for 24 examplar genera covering all families and subfamilies of Gerromorpha. The phylogenetic relationships found concur with those presented by Andersen (1982) except that the relationships between some subfamilies of Veliidae andGerridae are unresolved. The Australian fauna of Gerromorpha comprises six families, 30 genera, and 123 species. One third of the genera and more than 80% of the species are endemic to Australia. Previously, we have covered all Australian species of the families Gerridae, Hermatobatidae, and Veliidae. The present paper deals with the families Hebridae, Hydrometridae, and Mesoveliidae. We offer redescriptions or descriptive notes on all previously described species, describe Mesovelia ebbenielseni sp. nov. (Mesoveliidae), Austrohebrus apterus, gen. et sp. nov., and Hebrus pilosus sp. nov. (Hebridae), and synonymise Hebrus woodwardi Lansbury, syn. nov. (Hebridae) and Hydrometra halei Hungerford and Evans, syn. nov. (Hydrometridae). We present keys for the identification of genera and species, and map the distribution of all species.
