At the May 2016 Council Meeting, Council noted the Masterplan Community Consultation Report and adopted the Masterplan, with the following amendments:

- the retention and maintenance of the Gordon Crescent beach access stairs and maintenance of the Coastal Path as a compacted gravel/sand walking path up to 2.0 metres in width (site specific), inclusive of pruning to either side;

- remove the references to a new public toilet on the foreshore in the area near Quiet Corner; and

- install appropriate signage to indicate Quiet Corner.


The adopted Masterplan is available here

The Masterplan will inform Council’s future capital works program, funding applications and priorities for infrastructure renewal, replacement and redevelopment over the next decade.

Recommendations to upgrade existing facilities

<p>Unlike other parts of Bayside's Foreshore, Black Rock has minimal infrastructure and facilities. With this in mind, Council will work with Lifesaving Victoria to redevelop the Black Rock Lifesaving Club and work to relocate the beach access shower to this new facility. </p><p>Improvement works also include minor changes to the Black Rock Gardens including new picnic tables, sealing of a pathway and installation of a fence. </p><p><strong>We would like to know what you think about the need for public toilets in the area.</strong> As part of this plan we are proposing to remove and replace the two existing toilet blocks with an all ability toilet facility for males, females and disabled closer to the playground and picnic area. Is this enough or do we need to install another toilet block opposite the Black Rock House (300m distance)? What do you think?</p><p>Please refer to the Draft Black Rock Foreshore Masterplan - Summary Implementation Plan</p>
