King Tides are expected in Coffs Harbour over the coming days. Please take extra care near beaches, estuaries, creeks, rivers, and along foreshores. Always swim between the red and yellow flags.
The Coffs Harbour LGA has a large number of estuaries which all require integrated strategic management.
Most of the time it is better to let intermittently closed and open lakes (ICOLLS) and lagoons self-regulate and not artificially open them. Learn what can happen to ICOLLS and their residents if the entrance is artificially opened.
The Coffs Harbour Local Government Area covers approximately 70 kilometres of coastline making managing coastline hazards a difficult but essential task.
Seaweed accumulation is a naturally occurring process and is vital to the sustainability of beach and marine environments.
The City of Coffs Harbour is currently developing a Coastal Management Program (CMP) for the Open Coast. This CMP will cover the City's beaches and headlands and will replace the existing Coastal Zone Management Plan (2019).
