Community consultation to pinpoint future projects and priorities has begun.

Member for Myall Lakes, Stephen Bromhead said he wanted to hear from people who used the waterways the most.

"These include our everyday recreational boaters, members of the maritime industry, sailing, aquatic and dragon boat clubs and anyone else with an interest in our wonderful waterways," he said.

"Everyday boaters, local sporting organisations and other local groups will initially be able to have their say by taking part in an online survey."

Transport NSW will also lead the consultation process with key stakeholders.

"All of the feedback we receive will help us produce a draft boating plan for the Myall Lakes region," Mr Bromhead said.

Transport NSW will visit the region to talk to the community before the plans are officially set.

"It is expected that the regional boating plan for our region will be finalised well before next summer's boating season."
