Beach plans identify the natural assets, issues and on-ground activities needed at each beach to protect our coast into the future.

As part of the Coasts and Communities Program (CCP), council and Reef Catchments collaborate with beach users, residents, community groups and key stakeholders to create these beach plans to protect and restore the natural environment of our coastline.

To date, 18 beach plans (out of 26 identified beaches region wide) have been adopted by council, the remaining eight are on track to be completed by mid-2014.

Activities detailed in the Town and Far beaches draft plan include a staged weed-management program, fencing to protect vegetation and define access tracks, planting native vegetation at the northern end of Quota Park and creating three new access paths.
