WE love our beaches and rivers, but are we in danger of loving them to death?
That’s the question being posed by the council as it considers how best to manage the Sunshine Coast’s waterways and beaches.
And they want the community to have a say on the Draft Waterways and Coastal Management Strategy which provides a framework and strategic direction for managing our waterways.
Council’s Environment Portfolio Holder, Councillor Keryn Jones, said community feedback would help ensure the Coast’s waterways were healthy, valued and enjoyed in the future.
“The region’s waterways, beaches and river systems are the lifeblood of the Coast,” she said.
“But the waterways are under pressure from population growth and climate change, and each day we are presented with the challenge of managing these and other threats.”
The management strategy proposes ways to manage those challenges.
Feedback on the strategy must be sent to council by November 8.
