Byron Shire included in development of Richmond River catchment CMP
Work has started on the development of the Richmond River Coastal Management Program (CMP), a long-term strategy for the management of the Richmond River catchment which includes parts of the Byron Shire.
In the past a Coastal Zone Management Plan focused on the management of the Richmond River in the Ballina, Lismore and Richmond Valley council areas.
“This time the plan is for a ‘whole of catchment approach’ to the Richmond River, recognising how the health of the upper catchments affect the lower reaches of the river,” Peter Boyd, Biodiversity and Agricultural Projects Officer, said.

Queensland will close the border to the rest of NSW, with Acting Premier Steven Miles saying the rising number of coronavirus cases is an ongoing concern.
Mr Miles said there would be a border zone, stretching south to Clarence Valley and west to the South Australian border with checkpoints installed.
People living in the NSW border zone will be able to enter Queensland for essential reasons such as school, work, essential shopping, healthcare or to care for others, while Queenslanders will be able to travel into the NSW zone for similar reasons, but not any further.
“The border zone won’t include Coffs Harbour, there are some risks there that the Chief Health Officer is concerned about,” Mr Miles said.
