NEXT STEPS FOR
THE VICTORIAN COASTAL STRATEGY
Our consultation process
Following the release of the Draft Victorian Coastal Strategy on 9 November
2007, the VCC, together with the Regional Coastal Boards, actively sought
the community's feedback on the Strategy. Consultations were held at
18 different locations, and many face to face meetings were conducted
with the heads of a number of stakeholder organisations and peak bodies.
A key part of our consultation process encouraged anyone with an interest
in the coast to make a written submission to the Draft Victorian Coastal
Strategy, outlining the parts of the Strategy they support, or have
reservations with, and to detail their recommendations.
End of submission
period
Submissions to the Draft Victorian Coastal Strategy officially closed
on 31 January 2008. 174 submissions have been received from a range
of stakeholders and the community.
Analysing submissions
VCC Council members and staff are currently reading every submission
and analysing the key issues being put forward before preparing the
final version of the Victorian Coastal Strategy. All submissions have
been made available on the VCC website unless stated confidential.
A summary report
on the submissions will be available on this webpage in May.
The Final Victorian
Coastal Strategy 2008
The Final
VCS will be submitted to the Minister for Environment and Climate Change
by mid-2008 for the Governments' decision.
