Alluvium has been assisting several Victorian councils to develop Coastal and Marine Management Plans (CMMPs) to guide appropriate and effective management of marine and coastal areas. This includes:

• Assisted Hobsons Bay City Council and Kingston City Council to deliver and receive Ministerial sign off on Council-wide CMMPs for their regions.
• Worked with Mornington Peninsula Shire Council to deliver three CMMPs for the communities of Mount Eliza, Portsea and Flinders, which have now received Ministerial sign off.
• Progressed development of East Gippsland Shire Council’s CMMP.

Our approach to delivering CMMPs aligns strongly with Statewide policy and translates this policy into on-ground actions. This includes actions at both Council-wide and precinct or location-specific scales. Informed by community and stakeholder engagement throughout, our CMMPs identify initiatives which balance management of social, cultural, environmental, and economic values sustainably. Our CMMPs guide both the long-term strategic direction of coastal and marine management in each of these LGAs as well as providing a detailed action and implementation plan to be delivered over the next 5-10 years.
