Beaumaris Foreshore
Reserve at Cromer Road,
7 March 2007
The
filled area between the Beaumaris Cliff and
the sea is a 1.2 hectare area
of filled
coast and
seabed
leased in 1997 to Beaumaris Motor Yacht Squadron
Ltd. for 21 years till 2018
at a
rental of $13,000 per year, with a right of
renewal.
Although
the filling, which was begun in 1959, covers
some of the best fossil areas, it was not
included in the Beaumaris
Bay Fossil Site on the Register
of the National Estate, but is an
enclave within that Site. Click on the

high resolution version.
The
1.2 hectare land leased from the Crown is, as a
non-conforming use, part of the
Public Park
and Recreation Zone here, and associated Environmental
Significance Overlay
under the Bayside Planning
Scheme, both of which also cover
the nearby
seabed.
See the indigenous
plants and the pest plants recorded on this
section of the foreshore.
