Bellarine Bayside Foreshore Committee of Management (Bellarine Bayside) manages 17 kilometres of coastal Crown land reserves in Portarlington, Indented Head and St Leonards.
We generate income through our holiday parks which is reinvested back into the coastal reserve, holiday parks and community.
Our coastal management works include managing a range of natural assets as well as built public amenities and facilities such as the Bellarine Coastal Trail, playgrounds, a community hall and boat ramps.
We respectfully acknowledge the Wadawurrung People as the Traditional Custodians of the land we manage. One of our highest priorities is protecting Wadawurrung cultural values on the northern Bellarine Peninsula.
Bellarine Bayside respectfully acknowledges the Traditional Custodians – the Wadawurrung People – upon whose ancestral lands we work, live and play.
We pay our respects to their Elders past, present and emerging.
We recognise their unique ability to care for Country and the intrinsic spiritual, cultural, economic, social and environmental connections they share with the land and waters. We value genuine partnerships with Wadawurrung to achieve effective management of our coastal regions.
