The Sydney Coastal Councils Group Inc. (SCCG) was established in 1989 to promote collaboration between Member Councils on environmental issues relating to the sustainable management of the urban coastal and estuarine environment.

Through coordination, collaboration and knowledge sharing, SCCG supports Member Councils and builds capacity in the management of Sydney’s urban coastal and estuarine environments.
