Umina Community Group runs four Dunecare groups along Umina Beach, giving our community a structured way to participate in improving our natural environment.

These groups work under the expert direction of the Central Coast Council Landcare Program, which provides registration, education and essential training, critical guidance, tools, funding and management of the program. Central Coast Council also provides accreditation of supervisors and contractors who assist the volunteer effort. This leadership from Central Coast Council also allows community volunteers to enjoy the hands on work without being drawn into the management and administration of these programs.
The Dunecare program meets every Wednesday for a couple of hours with different meeting points depending on the week in the month. They provide volunteers with the opportunity to improve the environment, meet their neighbours, learn about our ecology and enjoy the pleasure of working with a team.
Beach entrance meeting points:
- Ocean Beach Rd – 1st Wednesday each month
- Berith St – 2nd Wednesday each month
- South St – 3rd & 4th Wednesday each month
Summer hours: 8am-10am Winter hours 9am-11am
