Lake Macquarie Council planning for climate change

Lake Macquarie Council planning for climate change August 5, 2021 Lake Macquarie Council is planning ahead for the impacts of climate change.  Council’s draft Local Adaptation Plan (LAP) outlines a raft of actions to help residents in Pelican, Blacksmiths, Caves Beach, Swansea and surrounding areas plan for the possible impacts of climate change and sea level rise. Manager Environmental Systems Karen Partington said detailed studies of the low-lying suburbs had identified them as vulnerable to projected impacts of sea level rise. “These impacts range from damage to houses and public infrastructure to changes to our coastal environment and lifestyle,” she said.

Coon Island and Coon Island Point are located in a low-lying area at the head of the Swansea Channel, opposite Pelican. The area is Awabakal land, with archaeological evidence dating back at least 7800 years ago showing occupation and widespread hunting areas. Lake Macquarie City Council councillor Kevin Baker said Coon Island was named after its original inhabitant Herbert Heaney, who was a man of Anglo-Saxon origin. Herbert was a coal miner and when he used to come back out of the pit, he got a very unfortunate nickname, Baker said.
