Have your say on the management of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River System

6 January 2023

Hawkesbury City Council is asking interested community members to have their say about the local river system and how it is managed as part of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River Coastal Management Program (CMP).

The program is a partnership between local and state governments to facilitate coordinated, holistic and sustainable management of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River System for the benefit of the natural environment, the economy and the community.

The CMP will drive management of the system from the tidal limit of the Hawkesbury-Nepean River at Yarramundi to the Pacific Ocean, encompassing estuaries of Broken Bay, Brisbane Water and Pittwater.

Have your say about the threats and vulnerabilities facing the Hawkesbury-Nepean River by providing your feedback and using the interactive tools on the link below to indicate what is important to you. A document library with facts sheets is also available on the link.

Council and the program partners will use this feedback to prioritise their management efforts.

You can learn more about the program, use the interactive map to highlight locations and issues of concern about the river system and complete the questionnaire at https://yoursay.hornsby.nsw.gov.au/hawkesbury-nepean-CMP

The Hawkesbury-Nepean River CMP is being developed with support from the NSW Government.
