VPRS 18802 Foreshore Plans

This series comprises plans of the foreshore within the Port Phillip Authority’s boundaries. The plans were prepared from aerial photography from the compiling section of the Department of Crown Lands & Survey (VA 538). The locations depicted in the plans include Altona, Bellarine, Queenscliff, Brighton, Chelsea, Corio, Flinders, Frankston, Geelong, Mordialloc, Mornington, Port Melbourne, Sandringham, South Melbourne, St. Kilda, Werribee and Williamstown. The plans primarily document Port Phillip Authority boundaries along the Victorian coast,  as well as Committee of Management boundaries, municipal boundaries, and freehold boundaries. The geographical features and infrastructure recorded include exposed rock and/or rubble, sea walls, groynes, slipways, boat ramps, railways, vegetation, boat houses and/or bathing boxes, dressing sheds and/or toilets, other buildings and land subject to inundation. These details are taken from the plan’s legend. Before being transferred to PROV, these plans were held at the Queenscliffe Maritime Museum.
