The Hawkesbury-Nepean River Coastal Management Program (CMP) is being developed by six councils that border the tidal section of the Hawkesbury estuary.
The councils include the Central Coast.
But it is Hornsby Council that is leading a survey asking people to talk about threats and management priorities for the river.

There is also an interactive map if you want to highlight areas of concern.
The CMP process will indentify areas impacted by various coastal and estuarine hazards and the relative risk of these hazards.
This information is then used to inform the development of management actions to address these hazards.
“Management actions can include planning responses (such as definition and mapping of Coastal Vulnerability Areas) or physical interventions (such as building of seawalls, rock or timber
revetments, bank and dune revegetation etc),” the website says.
The CMP will primarily focus on the impacts within the tidal section stretching over 145 km of the river from Broken Bay up to Yarramundi near Richmond as well as the waterways of Pittwater and Brisbane Water which converge with the Lower Hawkesbury River at Broken Bay.
