Umina Beach and Ocean Beach includes a set of ecologically sensitive sand dunes which protect the caravan park, our roads and houses from the ravages of the sea. These dunes give us a superb natural looking beach line which we all enjoy and attracts many visitors to our suburb (providing jobs in the local community). We all have a role to play in protecting these dunes and their ecosystems for our community and the generations ahead.
Gosford City Council is currently conducting a Coastal Zone Management Study which includes, amongst other items, new management strategies for Dune Management at Umina (to maintain the integrity of the dune system as nature’s last line of defence against wind and wave attack). Based on this study process, the existing Management Plan will be replaced with a new one.
Umina Community Group is pleased to announce that the Umina Community will be represented on the coastal planning sub-committee looking at the these plans. In October 2014 Gosford City Council has welcomed representatives from the Umina Community Group onto the sub-committee.
