 History
 The development of Sydney 's coastal zone has witnessed significant increases in population and tourism and intensive residential, industrial and commercial development. The development and use of fragile and dynamic coastal ecosystems has led to the gradual degradation of these resources.
The Sydney Coastal Councils Group was established in 1989 and originally consisted of 6 member councils (Warringah, Manly, Waverley, Randwick, Sutherland and Woollahra) that met to address issues surrounding Sydney 's deep ocean outfalls. The Group has now evolved to 15 member councils to promote co-ordination between member councils on environmental and natural resource management issues relating to the sustainable management of the coastal urban environment.
The Group was incorporated in February 1998 under the Associations Incorporation Act, 1984.
