Avalon Aquaculture Fisheries Reserve Management Plan 2024
The Minister for Outdoor Recreation declared the Avalon Aquaculture Fisheries Reserve Management Plan on 17 October 2024 by publication of Notice of Declaration in the Victoria Gazette.
The Management Plan has been developed in accord with Part 3 of the Fisheries Act 1995. Section 28 of the Act requires a management plan be prepared in respect of a fisheries reserve.
This is the first management plan for the Avalon Aquaculture Fisheries Reserve. It establishes a framework for an environmentally sustainable and economically viable aquaculture industry at the Avalon Aquaculture Fisheries Reserve that recognises and respects the cultural heritage of the site and contributes to a commercial supply of high quality seafood.
