Victorian Coastal Strategy

The Victorian Coastal Strategy is a framework developed by the state government to guide sustainable development and management of Victoria’s coastline. It aims to protect the natural environment, support communities, and ensure economic vitality while adapting to climate change and sea-level rise. The strategy provides long-term planning, encourages responsible land use, and promotes resilience of coastal areas. It balances conservation with recreation, tourism, and residential needs, ensuring that Victoria’s coast remains healthy, accessible, and resilient for future generations.
