The 2005 plan had set out a process to address natural resource management issues such as coastal erosion, invasive species, degradation of native vegetation and man-made coastal landforms. 

The George Town Council has agreed to provide $2770 towards finalising the action plan.

The consultation process identified concerns in seven different regions, including Bellingham, Hillwood, Lulworth, Weymouth, Bell Bouy Beach, Beechford and Low Head. 

Common themes emerged in the overall coordination of the plan, such as waste disposal, fire management, encroachment of private yards onto public lands and control of feral animals. 

Mr Lundstrom said the plan was 80 per cent complete, and he anticipated the launch would occur at the end of the year. 

He said the next process was to consult with key stakeholders, including Parks & Wildlife Service, Tasmanian Fire Service and the George Town Council.

Mr Lundstrom said the process would be followed by exploring any gaps, identifying specific roles and responsibilities, developing an implementation schedule and a community friendly document to educate the public. 

The 2005 plan is said to be the first community driven coastal management plan in Tasmania, and was developed in collaboration with the stakeholders.

George Town mayor Bridget Archer said the money provided by the council would enable further stakeholder consultation, build capacity for events and new volunteers, and contribute toward the cost of the launch.

Three reviews have been conducted since then and community driven on-ground works have been put in place.

Tamar NRM said the sea spurge, blackberries, boneseed and rice grass weeds programs were examples of ongoing projects that stem from the plan.

In April, youth groups from Launceston and George Town participated in a sea spurge at the Low Head Penguin colony, removing 20 bags of coastal invader by hand pulling.
