A Northern Rivers council is expected to write to the State Government to request the continuation of the shark management strategy.
Funding for the program, which was run by the Department of Primary Industries for five years and was extended for another 12 months, will end on June 30.
But Richmond Valley Council would like to see it continue.
At this week's meeting, councillors will discuss the results of the program at Evans Head beaches.
Drones, SMART drumlines, shark tagging and shark listening stations have all been used in the area as part of the strategy.
A shark alarm was funded by the council before the strategy started, and it will continue to be used, with money allocated in the council's budget.
