Oyster Harbour Foreshore Management Plan (Closed)
Posted: 09/06/2023 Closing Date: 22/06/2023 10:00 PM
The City of Albany has undertaken a Coastal Hazard Risk Management and Adaptation Plan (CHRMAP) to plan and manage the future of coastal assets for the stretch of coastline between Middleton Beach and Emu Point. This area of coast is highly valued for its social, environmental and economic aspects.
In order to provide more detailed plans for management of specific areas, the City has prepared this Foreshore Management Plan (FMP) for Oyster Harbour. A FMP provides more detailed planning for how a coastal area will respond to the changes identified in the CHRMAP in the short term. An FMP helps to show how the community can continue to use and enjoy much valued coastlines, at the same time as managing impacts to assets.
The objectives of the Oyster Harbour FMP are:
- To respond and align with the findings of the Middleton Beach to Emu Point CHRMAP.
- To provide guidance for future development along the Oyster Harbour foreshore area.
- To provide recommendations on appropriate land uses and functions that respond to changing coastline.
- To inform and consult with the local community and stakeholders to deliver the FMP.
This FMP includes concept design work for precincts between the marina and Cunningham Street. These will be subject to a later detailed design process before implementation.
The City seeks public and stakeholder comment on the draft Foreshore Management Plan by email to [email protected].
