The build-up of seagrass wrack and macroalgae around the foreshores of Tuggerah Lakes is a concern to many, so as part of our process of developing a new Coastal Management Program for each of our waterways, Council is working hard on developing a new strategy for how we manage this issue. Central to this strategy is improving the health of Tuggerah Lakes and ensuring community values are incorporated in any future wrack management actions.

Your voice matters and you are important to the decision-making process.

The community is invited to pop-in to one of our drop-in sessions this week where you can learn about and provide input into our new draft Wrack Management Strategy. Our friendly and passionate team members on-site to answer any questions you may have.

Finally, a heartfelt shoutout to our incredible community members who have contributed to the development of our Coastal Management Programs so far, in particular to those who have dedicated their Wednesday nights for multiple weeks to join our focus groups and actively contribute to the development of the Tuggerah Lakes Wrack Management Strategy and Tuggerah Lakes Entrance Options Paper.

Your unwavering commitment and passion have been invaluable in shaping the future of our Central Coast Waterways. We are immensely grateful for the diverse perspectives, knowledge, and ideas shared during these Community Reference Focus Groups. Your input will help ensure that these new strategies are well-rounded and tailored to the unique needs of our waterways and community and we can't wait to continue this journey with all of you.
