6.0 The Proposal
This application seeks to formalise use of the area of historic encroachment to the south of Lot 32. Lot 32
has existing use rights for the campground whereas the area of encroachment does not. As detailed
above the tenure arrangements for the encroachment are currently being formalised.

The applicant also intends to rehabilitate, revegetate and upgrade the entire campground with works to
include:
      • Weed removal.
      • Removal of camping from sensitive esplanade and dune area.
      • Rehabilitation and replanting of encroachments to the north and east.
      • Full fencing and rehabilitation of the dune area (Esplanade), including a multitude of informal
        beach access tracks and campground encroachment.
      • Formalisation/consolidation of a small number of beach access tracks/boardwalks.
      • Revegetation across the campground site to create individual, defined “bush camping” style sites.
      • New effluent and wastewater system to cease on-site treatment. Holding tanks will be used and
        waste will be carted for treatment at a Unitywater treatment plant.
      • Minimised disturbance/removal of existing native vegetation.
The existing entrance to the site will be maintained and improved with a new kiosk and reception area
proposed.
The area of the extension will be used as for camping purposes with grassed sites and road access
however no further amenities will be provided on this portion of the site.
The proposed works remain within the existing approved 200 camping sites limit.

Annexure A provides concept plans of the proposed upgrade.
