State Environmental Planning Policy (Coastal Management) 2018
The Coastal Management State Environmental Planning Policy (Coastal Management SEPP) establishes the strategic land use planning framework for managing NSW's coastal areas. The framework responds to existing and emerging coastal challenges and opportunities, with the aim of having thriving and resilient communities living and working on a healthy coast now and into the future. It supports implementation of the management objectives set out in the Coastal Management Act 2016 (NSW).

The Coastal Management SEPP seeks to better equip coastal communities to plan for and effectively respond to coastal challenges such as major storms, coastal erosion and climate change impacts, through better strategic planning around coastal development and emergency management. Its aims include managing development in the coastal zone, protecting the environmental assets of the coast and establishing a framework for land use planning to guide decision-making. It does this by establishing controls to ensure development in the coastal zone does not increase risk of coastal hazards.

The 1993 Plan included information from a previous study, the 1979 Macquarie Lighthouse Report by Davies & Wilson prepared for the Commonwealth Department of Construction.

The 1993 Plan of Management has been effectively superseded by this, the Harbour Trust's Management Plan for the site. The 1993 Plan, which is referenced in the Lease for the Head Keeper's Quarters, it still has some validity for the site.
