East Gippsland Shire Council is preparing a long-term Master Plan to guide the future of Mallacoota Foreshore Holiday Park.
Their vision is to create a vibrant, inclusive and welcoming holiday park that celebrates Mallacoota’s unique character, offers exceptional visitor experiences, achieves strong financial performance and contributes to community wellbeing and regional prosperity.
The Master Plan will outline practical and achievable projects that balance strong financial performance with the celebration and protection of Mallacoota’s unique environmental, cultural and community values.
Community input is essential.
Ideas and insights from residents will help shape the project vision and guiding principles from the beginning.
Early engagement ensures the Master Plan reflects what matters most to community, setting a strong foundation for future decisions.
The draft Master Plan will be shared for feedback once prepared – date to be advised.
Feedback from the public will help shape priorities within the Master Plan objectives, highlight what matters most and capture ideas for improvements that reflect Mallacoota’s unique character.
The Master Plan will bring together community aspirations and council’s vision for an inclusive, sustainable and prosperous holiday park, that continues to deliver economic benefits for generations to come.
Input will help council:
– Define the project vision and guiding principles that will underpin the Master Plan.
– Identify priorities for cultural connection and visitor experience.
– Shape low impact accommodation options that meet diverse needs while maintaining the natural aesthetic of the park.
– Inform environmental sustainability considerations and initiatives, with a goal to obtain eco-certification for the park.
– Identify infrastructure renewal and improvement priorities, including universal accessibility and efficient design principles.
– Improve connectivity with surrounding public spaces and community areas.
The Master Plan will focus on the future strategic priorities for Mallacoota Foreshore Holiday Park.
It will not address day-to-day operational matters or broader township planning and projects unrelated to the holiday park.
In addition, the Master Plan will not consider:
– Leasing or sub-contracting the park to private operators.
– Expansion or reduction of the park’s current boundaries beyond the existing footprint.
– Permanent residential development within the park (in accordance with Crown land regulations).
– Any changes that deter public access to the foreshore or surrounding natural areas.
– Development that significantly impacts views to the foreshore from neighbouring homes or businesses.
In addition to the survey feedback, council is inviting the Mallacoota community to share their thoughts, ideas and concerns as part of the Master Plan process.
Feedback is open until Monday, March 16 at 12pm.
