Press Release - October 27 2004

Parks Victoria is responsible for the development of management plans for each of Victoria’s new Marine National Parks and Marine Sanctuaries. Given the scale of this undertaking, production of these plans has been staggered over a three year planning period.

Parks Victoria has recently selected Spatial Vision to undertake the mapping for the Management Plans for 16 areas:

• Merri Marine Sanctuary
• Twelve Apostles Marine National Park & The Arches Marine Sanctuary
• Barwon Bluff Marine Sanctuary
• Mushroom Reef Marine Sanctuary
• Yaringa, Churchill Island & French Island Marine National Park
• Beware Reef Marine Sanctuary
• Point Hicks Marine National Park
• Cape Howe Marine National Park
• 90 Mile Beach Marine National Park
• Bunurong Marine National Park & Bunurong Marine & Coastal Park
• Discovery Bay Marine National Park
• Marengo Reefs Marine Sanctuary
• Point Cooke Marine Sanctuary
• Jawbone Marine Sanctuary

Under this arrangement, Spatial Vision is responsible for producing:

• Regional Locality Plans
• Park maps detailing access, visitor facilities, and adjacent land tenure and use

The project will involve providing a draft set of Plan maps over a five month period to allow for community input and stakeholder consultation. Final Plan maps will then be released incorporating the consultation processes.
