MOTION:

That Northern Beaches Council reaffirms its commitment to Cabbage Tree Bay Aquatic Reserve
and that staff bring back a short report within four months regarding the impact the following is
having on the reserve:

1. The impact motorised surf (Flite) boards are having on marine life in Cabbage Tree Bay.
   See illustration of Flite Board below.
2. The impact of increased boating activity within the reserve and in particular the impact of
   boat anchors.
3. The impact Scuba diving schools are having on the reserve.
4. The impact on the reserve caused by large groups consuming large quantities of alcohol at
   Shelly Beach. This activity generates large amounts of rubbish (including plastic) which often
   finds its way into Cabbage Tree Bay.
5. The impact on the reserve caused by increased housing development in nearby streets.
   This issue has also been raised by local community groups.
