Together we can make a difference
Protect Oxley Beach began in February 2026 with a small group of local residents who simply wanted the community to have access to clear information about the proposed Ocean Pool.
Today, we are a growing movement of residents, Traditional Owners, families, surfers, walkers, swimmers, environmental advocates, people living with disability, carers, young people and long-term locals who share one common goal:
To ensure that any decision about the future of Oxley Beach Port Macquarie is informed, transparent and based on the best long-term outcome for our entire community.
Thank you for being part of that journey.
