In February, we will begin assembling the final action plan for Restore the Bay. It is intended that this be used to guide public policy and decision-making, affecting our activities and the way we interact with our local area.

Restore the Bay’s final output will be a stewardship plan, that includes an interpretation of the values and threats, plus the actions you believe will improve over 5, 10, 15 or more years, and how to get there.

If you have not had chance to engage with the project yet, now would be an ideal time. This is your chance to have a say in what happens next, as well as ensure your interests are properly represented.

PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION WITH ANYONE YOU THINK NEEDS TO HAVE A SAY

If you have questions, please email info@restorethebay.org.au. Better still, sign up to our workshops - these begin 7 February and 17 February from 10-1pm at the Ecocentre, St Kilda.

FINAL WORKSHOP REGISTRATION

Where do you act?

As a result of our public engagement so far, we have the data to demonstrate which ecosystem features support the greatest amount of community value. This is why we have a strong local economy. The penultimate part of this project is to map where you do your activities because this is how we connect with those values. This combination of knowledge means we can put forward rigorously assessed recommendations that are socially prioritised, ecologically viable and are likely to result in measurable positive impact for our local community.

Are these maps correct?

The following maps are based on observations and discussions so far. Should you wish to add or amend these, you can contact us through this online form or email us at info@restorethebay.org.au.
