Planning a Wedding on the Barwon Coast?

If you’re dreaming of a beachside ceremony on the Barwon Coast, you’ll need to complete our Wedding Permit Application Form.

Barwon Coast issues permits for weddings and similar activities on the land we manage to help protect natural and cultural values, ensure fair access for all, and minimise impact on the coastal environment.

Permit Fee & Approval Process:

  • A permit fee of $132 (incl. GST) applies to cover administration and insurance.
  • An invoice will be issued once your application is reviewed and approved.

Submitting the form does not guarantee a booking—a confirmation email and invoice will be sent within 10 days of submission.
