The Coastal Management Plan (Plan) is a requirement under section 20 of the Coastal Protection and Management Act 1995 to describe how the coastal zone of Queensland is to be managed.

The Plan provides the Queensland Government's policy position and sets outcomes for key aspects of coastal management. It is primarily used by local governments who are responsible for managing large areas of public coastal land and can guide coastal management decisions made by State land managers, port authorities and Traditional Owners.

The existing Plan has been reviewed and updated to focus on policies directly related to coastal management matters that are not dealt with through other legislation and management plans.

Feedback on the new draft Plan is being sought from stakeholders including the public, coastal local governments, port authorities and port operators.

Your input will inform the development of the final Plan.

Consultation opened on Friday 27 September and closes on Wednesday 27 November 2024.
