WATERFRONT GEELONG MASTERPLAN 2010<br />

B. Griffi n's Gully to Western Beach Boat Club<br />

(continued)<br />

Care should be taken to protect <strong>the</strong> relatively ‘forgotten’ nature <strong>of</strong> this western<br />

beach area, distinct as it is from <strong>the</strong> central waterfront precinct.<br />

Additions or developments in this western beach zone should take account<br />

<strong>of</strong> this informal character and not dramatically change <strong>the</strong> path system or <strong>the</strong><br />

prevailing landscape character.<br />

Access to <strong>the</strong> higher path is served by ramped asphalt paths across <strong>the</strong><br />

embankment which meet <strong>the</strong> water's edge path every few hundred metres<br />

and <strong>the</strong>se should be retained.<br />

At <strong>the</strong> easternmost point <strong>of</strong> this area, adjacent to <strong>the</strong> western edge <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Western Beach Boat Club, seaweed and water-borne rubbish collects.<br />

A clear opportunity exists to clean up this area <strong>of</strong> western beach through<br />

regular maintenance practices. At <strong>the</strong> same time interpretive material should<br />

be provided that explains <strong>the</strong> local ecology <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> seagrass beds found<br />

around this end <strong>of</strong> western beach.<br />
