The current Coastal Reserves Management Plan is under review, a process which involves community engagement to make sure those who live and work in the Shire of Denmark get the chance to contribute to the next 10-year management plan. The revised Coastal Reserves Management Plan (2024) is being put to Council for consideration for adoption at the May OCM.
The plan is a strategic management document that outlines priorities for monitoring, intervention and forward planning around environmental, social and cultural values on coastal reserves within the Shire of Denmark. It incorporates, in particular, coastal hazard assessments which monitor erosion and inundation that may impact on infrastructure and allows for strategic forward planning to mitigate and adapt.

This project is co-funded by the Department of Planning, Lands and Heritage through a Coastal Management Plan grant.
