Wamberal Lagoon Nature Reserve Plan of Management

The nature reserve encompasses one of the best remaining examples of coastal lagoon, wetland and barrier dune on the Central Coast. Stands of undisturbed littoral rainforest, present in only a few other areas of the Central Coast, are also found in the reserve.

Since over 90% of the catchment of Wamberal Lagoon lies outside the nature reserve, protection of the lagoon depends, in particular, on the co-operation of neighbours and Gosford City Council. Accordingly the formation of a Catchment Management Committee for Wamberal Lagoon is proposed to reduce the impact of human land-use on the natural heritage of the nature reserve.
