Point Impossible to Jan Juc Master Plan
From the GORCC website @ https://www.gorcc.com.au/projects/point-impossible-to-jan-juc-master-plan/
“The 11.5 kilometres of coastal foreshore between Point Impossible and Jan Juc is Crown land managed by the Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC). This stretch of coast has evolved to become a popular destination for residents, visitors and tourists. For thousands of generations, the Wadawurrung people cared for and protected these lands and waters. We pay our respects to their Ancestors and Elders – past, present and emerging, and commit to walking alongside the Wadawurrung when planning for and managing the foreshore reserve. In 1998, the Torquay Public Reserves Committee of Management (now GORCC) commissioned a master plan and management plan for the foreshore between Point Impossible and the three-tier car park in Jan Juc. The 1998 plan focused on managing vehicle and pedestrian access by defining, formalising and constructing several car parks at Point Danger, Cosy Corner, Fishermans Beach and the Nudist Beach. The foreshore reserves have considerably evolved since this time, now providing: Important marine, intertidal, coastal dune and woodland habitat for local, regional and internationally significant flora and fauna. Extensive areas of public open space, providing a strong sense of place and enabling opportunities for social interaction and recreation. Important coastal infrastructure to facilitate our enjoyment of the coast including beach access points, playgrounds, picnic tables and BBQs, car parks, amenity blocks, boardwalks. Highly valued community buildings and facilities including a boat ramp, sailing club, fishing club, and two Surf Life Saving Clubs. Activities including surf schools, events, markets and festivals, and modern and desirable services including kiosks, mobile food vendors, restaurants and cafes. Master plan project Master plans provide us and our community with a dynamic blueprint for a 10-15 year period. They set the vision and high-level actions to guide future use and development of an area and assist in long-term planning to ensure adequate resourcing of the coastal and marine environment. This draft master plan has been informed by community and stakeholder consultation conducted over summer 2019. The consultation identified several themes and proposed improvements to be considered in developing the draft master plan. “
