Portarlington Safe Harbour – Master Plan
Introduction
Parks Victoria, in partnership with a number of key agencies and stakeholders, is facilitating the planning for development of a safe harbour at Portarlington. A key objective of the planning is to ensure that the redevelopment of the harbour is integrated with the foreshore reserve and township.
A Steering Committee comprising representatives from Parks Victoria, Department of Sustainability & Environment, Tourism Victoria, Department of Innovation Industry & Regional Development, Department of Primary Industries, City of Greater Geelong, Marine Safety Victoria, Central Coastal Board and Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management has been established to oversee the project.
Master Plan
The Master Plan will be the blueprint for the future use of the harbour and adjoining foreshore incorporating the development of new, or refurbishment of existing, infrastructure for commercial and recreational boating, and supporting the local tourism industry within Portarlington.
The Master Plan will incorporate key stakeholder and community views to ensure that the ecological, heritage, cultural, and amenity values of the harbour and foreshore are protected.
An Economic Feasibility Study supporting the Master Plan will also clearly define the economic cost and benefits to the local and broader community and propose a funding strategy to ensure its successful delivery.
The Master Plan and Economic Feasibility Study will be required to gain State Government endorsement for the proposed development of the Portarlington Safe Harbour .
