maintain and consolidate the existing function and capacity of the lakeside picnic area as the main focusfor family, water and land based recreational activity around the lake while addressing issues that impacton bank erosion and riparian vegetation; andconsolidate and upgrade walking trails around the lake, remove and revegetate unnecessary routes andother works required to formalise and enhance the recreational experience for public use.The management strategies in this document are presented in general order of priority (Strategy 1 being thehighest priority). Specific priorities have also been assigned to each strategy action in terms of “very high”,“high”, “medium” or “low” priority. The priorities and timeframes provided in this CZMP are indicative and areto be used to guide the order of implementation. Priorities were established in response to: the degree to which the management strategies will impact on estuary issues; timeframe over which the strategy impacts will extend (the longer the better); extent of the estuary addressed by each management strategy; community rating of issues addressed by each management strategy (based on a community survey);and the likely cost of effective implementation of the management strategy.Coffs Harbour 2030 PlanThe Coffs Harbour 2030 Plan (CHCC, 2009), a strategic plan for the Coffs Harbour community (‘the 2030Plan’), was adopted by Council in December 2009. The 2030 Plan is driven by the Community Vision 2030and outlines the steps needed to create a sustainable future for Coffs Harbour LGA. It is the overarching planthat integrates planning and reporting frameworks, while mapping out the community’s aspirations for thefuture of the Coffs Harbour LGA to 2030 and beyond.This CZMP is consistent with the aspirations of the Coffs Harbour community as articulated in the 2030 Plan.The 2030 Plan covers five themes including Moving Around and Looking after our Environment which aremore directly applicable to this CZMP. The 2030 Plan outlines outcomes, objectives and actions for eachtheme. The actions applicable to this CZMP are listed in Table I.1 below. The final two columns of the tablelist the CZMP strategy actions that address the listed 2030 Plan strategies.Table I.1 – Coffs Harbour 2030 PlanCoffs Harbour 2030 PlanRelated CZMP StrategyOutcome Objective Strategy Strategy DescriptionAction No.MA2 Many of uswalk and cyclefrom place toplaceMA 2.2.1 Work inpartnership to provide cycleways and footpaths.11.2LE1 Weunderstand andvalue our uniquenaturalenvironment andits culturalconnectionsMA2.2 We haveconstructed aninterconnected network ofcycle ways, footpaths andwalking tracks thatconnect our urbancommunities, hinterlandand coastal villages.LE1.3 We have manyopportunities for natureexperiences and learningthrough improved accessto natural areas.LE1.3.1 Promoteconnection to theenvironment throughlearning in the environment.LE1.3.2 Create and extendwalking trails and otheropportunities forenvironmental experiences.3.111.111.23.511.2Improve the pathnetwork around theforeshores andtributaries of the lakePotential future pathalong southernforeshoreInterpretive signageConstruct foreshoreplatformImprove the pathnetwork around theforeshores andCoastal Zone Management Plan - Woolgoolga Lake Estuary1616-10046
