Following extensive community engagement over several years, Northern Beaches Council has adopted the Pittwater Waterway Strategy 2038.
Northern Beaches Council Mayor Michael Regan said the Strategy sets out a strategic direction for sustainably managing the picturesque waterway for the next 20 years.
“The Pittwater Waterway is iconic and one of the area’s most significant natural assets. It is important we have a strategy which informs any decisions we make there now and in the future.
“We need to make sure it is enhanced and protected while balancing the needs of our community and visitors who love to use it and the local businesses who rely on it.
“This Strategy has been a long time coming and it is great to have it finally adopted.
“Thanks to the many residents, business and other stakeholders who worked with us over time in the development of the strategy,’’ Mayor Regan said.
The Strategy focused on the following key elements:
- Economics of the waterway
- Natural environment
- Natural reserves and recreation
- Development of the waterway
- Activating the waterway
- Waterway regulation
Pittwater Waterway extends from the lower reaches of Pittwater around Mona Vale and Bayview, through the Western Foreshores and Scotland Island, up through Newport to Palm Beach and around West Head to Cottage Point.
