Balnarring Beach Foreshore and Parks Reserves Coastal Management Plan

“A self-sustaining Reserve in near-natural condition which meets the growing recreational and environmental needs of the community in a cost-effective manner.” 

The Balnarring Beach Foreshore and Parks Reserve Management Plan-2014 (Final) (pdf 5mb) has been developed by the Balnarring Beach Foreshore and Parks Reserve Committee of Management (CoM) Inc. in consultation with the Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI). It sets out a vision for the Reserve and guides the CoM in their decision making and the staff in the day to day management of the Reserves

Survey 2026

We completed a survey of campers in February 2026. The findings will be used by the Committee of Management to guide their policies and investment program over the next few years. Results of the survey can be found in the Manager’s report appended to the minutes of the February 2026 committee meeting.

Minutes of meetings

Minutes for meetings are published following their acceptance and approval by the CoM. This usually happens at the subsequent months meeting. Minutes of meetings held in the last 12 months are available for download below. Minutes of prior years meetings are available by emailing the Foreshore office.
