Smallpopulation growth until 2030.The Tomaree Sandbeds are so namedbecause they lie on the end of theTomaree Peninsula approximately 50kilometers northeast of Newcastle.On the outskirts of the sandbeds arethe growing towns of Anna, Nelson,Fingal and Shoal Bays (Figure 13).The sandbeds are primarily coveredby Tomaree National Park in whichrecreation is permitted.There are 21 bores in total that extractfrom the sandbeds and then to two nearbywater treatment plants. Treatment atboth plants is simple because the qualityof water extracted is very good. Thegroundwater is first aerated to removedissolved minerals, pH neutralised,chlorinated and then fluoridated.Due to the minimal level of treatment andlimited ability for the Peninsula to usealternative water sources, it is important toensure that these sandbeds are effectivelymanaged to avoid contamination.Future issues for consideration in thiscatchment are the increase in aquiferrecharge works in Shoal Bay (to the NEof the catchment) and the proximity ofsome bores to a swamp at Shoal Bay.Water quality risk assessment of thissources indicated that pathogens werethe principal issues for this system.NNelson BayShoal BayTomaree National ParkFingal BayAnna Bay2 KILOMETRESKEYNational ParkBorelinesCatchment BoundaryFigure 13: Location and extent of the Nelson Bay SandbedsCATCHMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN . ssS . 001 .
