Cassowary Coast Regional Council (CCRC) is developing a Foreshore Management Plan (FMP) for the Kurrimine and Cowley Beaches. Kurrimine and Cowley Beaches are referenced within many Council planning and strategic reports such as the Cassowary Coast Regional Council 2023 Advocacy Plan and the Cassowary Coast Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy.

A foreshore plan for these areas will encompass existing plans and strategies to develop a wholistic plan of management to guide future land-based activities, identify actions to enhance coastal resilience and improve community and environmental outcomes.

Your input is valuable to the development of the Kurrimine and Cowley Beaches Foreshore Management Plan (FMP). Council representatives, accompanied by consultants from GHD, will commence community consultation in April, providing an opportunity for you to directly share your insights, concerns, and suggestions with the team.

Consultation has closed! Council would like to thank all community members who have participated in this engagement phase.
