Bellarine Bayside is establishing 28 new, vacant twelve-month permit sites within our holiday park at Portarlington.
Bellarine Bayside’s Camping and Accommodation Strategy (CAS), created in 2017, identified that there are opportunities at Portarlington Holiday Park to expand accommodation options, including low season accommodation options, as well as increasing funds to reinvest into the Crown land reserve, particularly to replace aging infrastructure. One of the identified opportunities was to increase the number of twelve-month permit (TMP) sites by in-filling vacant sites and using land that is currently unallocated for any other use. The unallocated land identified can accommodate a total of 28 new TMP sites.
The introduction of more TMP sites will both improve equity of access to coastal Crown land and meet the demand for more TMP sites, as evidenced by Bellarine Bayside’s current TMP waiting list.

The site allocation process for the 28 new, vacant TMP sites will be in adherence to Bellarine Bayside’s existing TMP waiting list and offered in order of priority on the list.
Our indicative timeline to establish the new TMP sites is:
