A Coastal Zone Management Plan was completed for the Gosford Lagoons in 2015. The Plan provides the strategic framework for managing the Wamberal Lagoon, Terrigal Lagoon, Avoca Lagoon and Cockrone Lagoon and includes a range of prioritised actions.
When the Coastal Management Act 2016 (CM Act) came into force, it introduced a new framework for coastal management and as part of the savings provisions in the CM Act, any existing certified Coastal Zone Management Plans (CZMPs) remained valid but need to transition to the requirements of the Coastal Management Act by December 2021.
Council is continuing to implement actions from existing CZMPs whilst developing new Coastal Management Programs.
