Pittwater’s future: You can get involved
Pittwater Council is undertaking a review to improve the management of the Pittwater's boating waterwaysThe Pittwater waterway is a natural icon and distinguishing feature of the region’s identity. The waterway is a focus for leisure, tourism and business and an important environmental asset.
As the waterway is under pressure from a range of competing demands, the Pittwater Council is looking at ways to protect the waterway’s future with a review of the ways it is managed. The aim of the review is to ensure its sustainable management, embracing environmental, social, economic and governance considerations.
>> Growth in boat ownership and vessel size
>> Demand for moorings, marinas and boat infrastructure (pump-out facilities, dingy storage, on-street boat parking)
>> Public access to the foreshore and waterway
>> Protection of flora and fauna
>> Recreation
>> Tourism
>> Economy and employment
>> Water quality
>> Governance and planning controls
