Phillip Island Nature Parks has thanked the community for sharing their ideas about the long-term future vision for the Summerland Peninsula including a reimagined Nobbies precinct.
The Nature Parks held seven consultation sessions last week for locals, community groups and key stakeholders across Phillip Island (Milawul) and the Bass Coast.
General Manager for Infrastructure and Planning at the Nature Parks, Jarvis Weston said it was a fantastic turn out with over 80 people attending the consultation sessions and expressing a range of views, thoughts, and ideas.
"It is so valuable to hear from locals and communities to ensure we find the right balance between ecotourism and protecting the significant environmental and cultural values of the Summerland Peninsula.
"The shared respect and responsibility for the conservation values of the peninsula was evident throughout the consultation process."
Following requests from the community for a weekend session, the Nature Parks has announced an additional drop-in session for Saturday August 9 from 12.30pm to 2.30pm at the Penguin Parade Visitor Centre Education Space.
There is also an online survey available to complete by Friday August 15, when this round of consultation will close.
The Nature Parks will then collate information received and begin the design development process, testing principles with key stakeholders, before a draft master plan is developed and released for community feedback later this year.
