Home / About The Coast / Permits, Leases & Tenders
Barwon Coast manages the use of Crown land along our beautiful coastline to protect its natural and cultural values while supporting fair and sustainable access for all. If you’re planning a wedding, festival, sporting event, or community activity on the beaches or foreshores we manage, you’ll need an Event Permit. Permits are also required for any commercial filming or photography on Crown land. We issue Commercial Tour Operator Licences through an expression of interest process and manage Crown land leases for key coastal assets. On this page, you’ll also find information about current tenders and opportunities to work with us in caring for this special coastal area.
This is Wadawurrung Country. We acknowledge the Wadawurrung People as the Traditional Owners of the land, waters, seas and skies of Ocean Grove, Barwon Heads, 13th Beach and Breamlea. We honour and say Nyatne to Elders past, present and future whose ancestors, for thousands of years, have cared for this part of Dja (Country). We are committed as an organisation to meaningfully work together with Traditional Owners to make Wadawurrung Culture and Country strong.
