Keeping Lake Conjola coastal zones vibrant and healthy

Council is preparing a Coastal Management Program (CMP) for Lake Conjola, helping Council identify coastal management issues and the actions required to address future risks.

The Lake Conjola CMP will take into account historic events, current conditions, and future trends including population growth, environmental conditions, and climate change. It will also address coastal hazards, preserving habitats, sustainability, and recreational facilities and resilience.

The biggest challenges faced by Lake Conjola are water quality issues arising from storm, tide, sea level rise and rainfall. Flooding impacts also need to be assessed through management of the entrance to Lake Conjola. Other possible coastal management actions include land-based actions that reduce potential risks with consideration of economic, cultural and social factors.

The aim of the CMP is to develop a strategic and integrated course of action for management of the coastal zone.
