All MidCoast Council customer service points, offices, libraries, depots, visitor information centres and facilities will be closed on Friday 18 October for the annual Union Picnic Day. Our landfills, waste services and kerbside waste collection will operate as usual.
The beaches at Manning Point and Old Bar / Farquhar Inlet are stunning natural areas which we all enjoy for fishing, swimming, surf sports and four wheel driving. These beaches are also dynamic and environmentally sensitive, supporting a range of threatened species, ecosystems and culturally significant sites.
Finding a balance between continuing to enjoy these places and protecting the unique natural and cultural values of this coastline is a challenge for us all - Council, NSW Local Land Services, MidCoast residents and visitors to our beautiful and unique region.
We all share a responsibility to Share the Shore and ensure our activities are balanced with maintaining the unique conservation values of the Manning Point and Old Bar / Farquhar Inlet.
