About Protect Pittwater

Our Mission

Protect Pittwater is a not-for-profit registered association whose mission is to restore Pittwater Council in order to Protect Pittwater’s unique natural environment.

Who we are

Protect Pittwater is a residents’ organisation working to maintain and enhance the area’s unique natural environment—its tree-covered sandstone ridges, green valleys and parklands, beaches and waterways—against the destructive overdevelopment threatened and now occurring under the Labor State Government policies.

The area bounded by Narrabeen Lake in the south, Ku-ring-gai National Park to the west, Barrenjoey Peninsula to the north, and the Pacific Ocean is unlike any other in the Sydney Basin. It attracts both local and international visitors and provides a significant example to the world in maintaining biodiversity and climate-change resilience.

Our fervent desire is to reverse the misguided amalgamation of the previously admired Pittwater Council into the suburban expanses that are the Warringah and Manly wards of what we consider the non-representative Northern Beaches Council.

We enlist residents’ support in keeping the new State Government to its election promise of allowing a plebiscite in Pittwater to determine our democratic future.
