Residents and tourists alike are attracted to Port Stephens because of its natural beauty, magnificent waterway and rural character.
The Port and its surrounding environment is used extensively for tourism and recreation, as well as supporting a large professional fishing and oyster growing industry.
Population growth, combined with increasing levels of tourism, continue to place increasing pressure on the environmental integrity, character and attributes of the LGA.
