The Beaumaris Foreshore Reserve is part of what was originally called Moorabbin Beach Park (because

it was in what was then the Shire of Moorabbin)
when the Victorian Government permanently reserved
it from sale by
its Orders-in-Council
below, made under various Land Acts, most
recently the Land Act 1901
(1 Edw. VII No. 1749).
 

*

The last of those
Orders-in-Council below were proclaimed in the Victoria Government Gazettes of 5 September 1906
on Page 3764 and 17 October 1906
on Page 4305 to become Moorabbin Beach Park‘s
most recent extension.


That history is recited at Item 1 of Schedule 1 of
Victoria’s Land
(Miscellaneous Matters) and National Tennis
Centre (Amendment) Act 1994, which deplorably excised from the
Beaumaris Foreshore Reserve 2,000 square metres of
land for a Crown
lease to Beaumaris Motor Yacht Squadron Ltd.

The present Permanent Public
Recreation Reserve created by the above three
Orders-in-Council should come under the current Crown Land (Reserves)
Act 1972, which continues in
force earlier permanently reserved
Crown lands.

*

The most recent official
statements on the Reserve appear in Recommendation E4 of the Final Report of the
Victorian Environment Assessment Council’s 2011
study of Crown Land in the Melbourne Metropolitan
Area. That recommendation is that the Victorian
Government should create a 3-hectare nature reserve
for all of the foreshore reserve between Charman Road and Hutchison
Avenue.
* The Beaumaris Foreshore Reserve
land pictured below had a concrete bicycle
road extension built on it in 2013 by
removing a 3.5 metre-wide swathe of coastal bushland
to do so.
Beach Park: Cromer Rd to Charman Rd
