All beaches along the coastline from Tuncurry’s Nine Mile Beach to Bennetts Beach at Hawks Nest would be included in the plan, which will be put together by Great Lakes Council and the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage.

Blueys, Boomerang and Jimmys beaches would not be included with separate plans already under way for each.

Following from an earlier coastal hazards study, the new  plan would look to address the risks to the coastline and nearby assets.

‘‘All of Great Lakes’ beaches are impacted by hazards from the ocean,’’ the council’s investigations engineer, Geoff Love, said.

‘‘This plan will focus on ways to address erosion and inundation of creeks and drains by the ocean during storms.

‘‘These hazards are also very likely to become worse in the future.’’

Mr Love said feedback by residents would help to make the plans ‘‘as practical as possible’’.

Community input would help  develop a clearer picture of beach users and their concerns.

‘‘At this stage of the project, we are interested in what beaches you visit and how you use and enjoy the beaches.’’
