Our waterways on the Central Coast are regarded as a key regional asset and their sustainable management and use contribute to the quality of life for local communities.
A regional waterbus network would be operating primarily over smooth water and efforts to minimise potential disruption to local ecosystems, whether from coastal erosion, urban pollution, and waterside development pressure, deserve responsible public oversight.
Informed decision-making will also require a regional strategy to establish a coordinated perspective from which local community projects can then safely push-off and in turn lend back their support.
