The ten-year Marine Estate Management Strategy is in its seventh year, with $30.7 million allocated to continue delivering close to 100 projects.
The NSW Government has committed approximately $30 million per annum for 6 years of the Strategy to deliver projects through to June 2028.
The Strategy Implementation Plan for 2024-2026 is now available.
The implementation plan outlines how we will reduce key threats facing our marine estate over a two-year period, and describes:
- the projects underway under the Strategy’s nine initiatives
- the agencies and partners delivering those projects
- when and where the projects will be delivered.
The Strategy Implementation Plan for 2022-2024 remains available under Strategy materials.
A map showing where projects are being delivered is included here and will also be updated for 2024-2026.
