MORDIALLOC
BEAUMARIS CONSERVATION LEAGUE INC.
The League was formed in August 1969 and has
constantly campaigned to protect the local environment through actions to:
- protect the fragile foreshore reserve vegetation
- ensure that foreshore facilities and amenities are designed and
sited so as to preserve the harmony and natural aspects of the coastal
environment
- ensure that publicly owned land is not appropriated or exploited
for the benefit of private commercial interests
- oppose inappropriate development such as high rise buildings on
the foreshore and housing estates in flood-prone areas
- encourage the restoration of wetlands to improve the quality of
waters entering the Bay from the Mordialloc Creek
- prevent heavy traffic on Beach Road and support alternatives to
car use
The League actively seeks to influence
decision making processes through participating in community consultation,
preparing submissions and attending hearings, letter writing and networking
with other organisations.
New members sympathetic to the League's
objectives are welcome. Meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month.
