Advocacy

The coastal councils of Port Phillip Bay call on major parties and candidates to lead a new era for marine and coastal management – driving strategic investment; commitment to climate change adaptation on the coast; and moving beyond traditional fix-on-fail hard engineering approaches.

Priorities for ABM Member Councils of Port Phillip Bay are:

1. State leadership and strategic investment in coastal climate change adaptation.
2. Improve safety, access and shared use of Port Phillip Bay.
3. Address the coastal asset management crisis.
4. Fund Traditional Owner engagement.
