We are starting the development of a Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the southern coastline of the Byron Shire and the Belongil Creek estuary. The CMP will be a long-term strategy to guide Council and other stakeholders in the management of these popular but environmentally sensitive areas.
The study area for the CMP includes:
Cape Byron Headland Reserve
Tallow Beach
Tallow Creek estuary and catchment
Suffolk Park Beach
Broken Head Beach
Broken Head Nature Reserve
Kings Beach
Whites Beach
Brays Beach
Seven Mile Beach
Belongil Creek estuary and catchment.
Cumbebin Swamp Nature Reserve
The Belongil catchment, including Cumbebin Swamp is included in this CMP as many of the same issues in these areas are similar to the Tallow Creek catchment and estuary.
