2024 NSW Coastal Conference

SCCG recently attended the 2024 NSW Coastal Conference, held on 6-8 November in Batemans Bay, bringing together coastal experts, practitioners, policymakers, and community leaders to share knowledge, discuss coastal issues, and inspire meaningful action. This annual event remains one of the most notable platforms for coastal management dialogue, and this year’s program was brimming with engaging presentations and learning opportunities.

The conference featured numerous sessions that resonated deeply with SCCG’s key priorities, including climate change adaptation, coastal erosion management, waterway health, and the integration of Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) into sustainable practices. Our team benefited from insightful discussions and field trips that explored innovative research and management approaches, and collaborative solutions to challenges facing our coastal communities. These learning experiences will undoubtedly inform and enrich SCCG’s ongoing advocacy and project work.

A highlight of the conference was the celebratory awards dinner, where SCCG was honoured with two awards: the Innovation Award and the Public Good Award. These accolades recognise our commitment to developing innovative strategies that enhance coastal resilience and deliver lasting benefits to the community. We are thrilled to see our collaborative initiatives acknowledged on this platform.

We extend our gratitude to the conference organisers, speakers, and fellow attendees for a stimulating and rewarding event. The learnings and connections made at the 2024 NSW Coastal Conference will drive SCCG’s continued efforts to safeguard and enhance the resilience of our coastal regions.
