CORINELLA residents and other users of the foreshore reserve have been invited to provide feedback on a draft Landscape Management Plan that will provide clarity around vegetation management within the reserve.  
 
The reserve, which comprises 30-hectares of coastal Crown land on the eastern side of Western Port Bay that encircles the township of Corinella, contains significant features, including geological formations at Settlement Point, a diversity of native vegetation, sites of cultural significance to the Bunurong people as well as areas of historic significance.  ​

In addition to the natural features of the reserve, the foreshore provides recreational opportunities and facilities for the local community and broader region. It contains four boat ramps and associated jetties, a caravan park, day-use facilities and recreational trails. 
 
Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) Gippsland Acting Regional Manager for Land and Built Environment, Ian Morland, said “With all these values and recreational opportunities, maintaining a balance between competing needs and interests is a challenge.”  
 
“That’s why it’s important that we understand what the community values about the reserve, and what their concerns and aspirations are for its future management.
 
“Once finalised, the plan will be used by the Corinella Foreshore Reserve Committee of Management Inc.to assist with the management of the foreshore reserve.”  
 
“We encourage you to read a copy of the plan and complete a four-minute feedback survey on the Engage Victoria website.”
 
The survey can be accessed via https://engage.vic.gov.au/corinella-foreshore-reserve-draft-landscape-management-plan. For a hard copy of the plan and survey email traralgon.PropertyServices@delwp.vic.gov.au  
 
Feedback received from community and the Natural Environmental Programs division of DELWP will then be integrated into the final plan. Consultation on the draft plan closes on April 30, 2022.
