THE future of foreshore camping is being considered by the Mornington Peninsula Shire. The shire has begun its first round of consultation to draft a “foreshore camping strategy”. The strategy is expected to assess preferred accommodation options, payment methods, accessibility measures, and other potential improvements.
The mayor Cr Simon Brooks said that drafting a new strategy would help improve the foreshore camping experience. “Our foreshore camping areas are a treasured asset, and we want to ensure they remain accessible and enjoyable for everyone. I encourage all community members to share their ideas and help us develop a draft strategy that benefits everyone,” he said. “This is a unique opportunity for the community to have a direct impact on the future of our foreshore camping. Your feedback will play a crucial role in shaping a strategy that is fair, sustainable, and inclusive.”
Consultation closes on 29 August. Visit mornpen.vic.gov.au/foreshorecampingstrategy to take part or view hard copies at the shire’s customer service centres in Hastings, Mornington, and Rosebud.
