Focus Group Nomination

Old Bar Manning Point Coastal Management Program Focus Group

The Old Bar Manning Point Coastal Management Program sets the long-term strategy for the management of the coast between Crowdy Head and Wallabi Point.

We are seeking nominations from community members to join a focus group that will provide important input in the Old Bar Manning Point Coastal Management Program.

We encourage community members from Old Bar, Wallabi Point, Mitchells Island, Manning Point, Harrington, Crowdy Head, Taree and Wingham who have an interest in the future of their local coastal area to apply.

We have identified several coastal management issues and the actions required to address these issues.

We want the community’s help to evaluate these actions and options.

Participating in this group will give you a chance to have your say, to represent your community and play a direct role in supporting the future management of our coastline.

To express an interest in joining the reference group, please complete this registration form below to tell us more about you, your experience and why you would like to be a part of this important process.

As a member of the focus group, you will:

receive detailed information about the management options (around 100 pages total)
attend a two-hour meeting in Taree (this involves a one-hour presentation of the management options and time for you to assess each option against set criteria).
