CAMPING grounds on Mornington Peninsula foreshores will not open until at least 19 December because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The decision to cancel the scheduled 23 October opening followed the introduction by the state government of stage four restrictions.
Mornington Peninsula Shire says a decision on when to start to 2020-21 camping will be made later in the year.
“While we are disappointed the camping season has to be postponed, it is a necessary step to protect our community and do our part to flatten the curve of this pandemic,” a news release from the shire stated.
