Excavator hired by Beaumaris
Motor Yacht Squadron shaving off, on 30th August 2005, part of the Beaumaris Cliff, relying on “emergency”
consent under Victoria’s Coastal
Management Act 1995, and bypassing the Bayside Planning Scheme
requirements for the Beaumaris
Fossil Site, which Bayside City Council successfully nominated for the
site’s inclusion on Australia’s Register of the National Estate
in 1999.
