Western
Victoria Boating Coastal Action Plan
The Western Coastal
Board is preparing a new Coastal Action Plan (CAP) for recreational
boating in western Victoria, in accordance with section 22 of the Coastal
Management Act 1995.
The purpose of
the Western Victoria Boating CAP is to provide strategic direction and
objectives for the use, development and management of boating infrastructure
and facilities within the region. It will form the policy basis for
the planning and management of recreational boating facilities along
the Western coast and estuaries of Victoria.
The Western Victoria
Boating CAP will set a vision for 2040, and provide short and medium
term guidance for public and private investment to support boating,
whilst recognising important coastal uses and values. It will apply
to the municipalities of Surf Coast Shire, Colac Otway Shire, Corangamite
Shire, Warrnambool City, Moyne Shire and Glenelg Shire.
The Western Victoria
Boating CAP is being developed in partnership with industry, community
and Local and State Government and will include extensive consultation.
