Late 2009 the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) submitted a recommendation to the Minister of Environment and Climate Change to appoint a Foreshore Reserve Committee to manage the
7 kilometres of Foreshore Reserve between Queensferry Jetty Rd, Grantville and The Gurdies. As a result of the negotiations between Parks Victoria and DSE over who actually manages the land the Grantville and District Foreshore Committee was appointed to so manage on DSE's behalf, the area covered by the Committee has been cut back to that between Broome Crt in the south and the northern edge of Pioneer Bay in the north. Except for an area at Grantville already covered by Bass Coast Shire, the remainder will remain under the jurisdiction of Parks Victoria.
Committee members were selected to form what is now known as The Grantville and District Foreshore Reserve Committee of Management. The members were chosen because of their skill mix, their keen interest and their knowledge of this area. They have been appointed by the Minister for Environment and Climate Change for a 3 year period.
The aim of this website is to keep you informed of the Committees activities. Meetings of the Foreshore Committee are held on the 2nd Friday of the month at 7pm and commenced in February 2010, if you wish to attend, please contact us.
Key attributes of the Committee are interest and enthusiasm, a commitment to caring, protecting and managing the use of the Grantville & District Foreshore Reserve and maximizing community involvement and participation.
