Help shape the future management of our coastlines

Earlier this year we asked you what the future looks like for the Flinders, Mount Eliza and Portsea coastlines. We received responses from more than 570 community members and key stakeholders. Thanks to your feedback we have developed the draft Coastal and Marine Management Plans (CMMP) for Flinders, Mount Eliza and Portsea and invite you to take a look at them.

Our Flinders CMMP will create an accessible and safe Flinders coastal and marine environment where diverse ecosystems are protected and enhanced, the region’s heritage is celebrated, and ongoing opportunities for relaxation, learning and enjoyment are provided for all.

Our Mount Eliza CMMP will create a healthy, natural and pristine coastline connecting communities with the environment and history, and is prepared for the future.

Our Portsea CMMP will create a healthy and valued Portsea coastal and marine environment celebrating an iconic past and looks to a resilient future by providing a coastal experience for all.
