Marine Infrastructure Advisory Committee

The Marine Infrastructure Advisory Committee will provide advice and recommendations to Council on Council-controlled marine infrastructure across the Eurobodalla.

By bringing together local knowledge, user experience and Council planning, the Committee will support safe, accessible and well-maintained marine infrastructure that benefits residents, visitors and other marine users.
