Point Nepean Community Trust
The Point Nepean Community Trust was established on 10 June 2004 to manage 90 hectares of Commonwealth land at Point Nepean in Victoria. The land is proposed to be integrated into the Mornington Peninsula National Park. To ensure the success of this endeavour, the Australian Government provided $5m to the Community Trust.
The Community Trust Deed will ensure no commercial development of the land, preservation of all heritage buildings and the natural environment, guaranteed public access and consultation, application of state and local planning laws, and management of the land in accordance with a Draft Community Master Plan.
Police Point - Point Nepean
In March 2004, The Commonwealth Government transferred 17.5 hectares of land at Police Point, Portsea to the Mornington Peninsula Shire Council.
The Mornington Peninsula Shire Council will establish a park on the site for use as public open space and for passive recreation.
