Shipwreck Coast Master Plan

Denton Corker Marshall / Great Ocean Road, Victoria

McGregor Coxall were engaged by Parks Victoria to develop a master plan for the Shipwreck Coast in Victoria. The master plan spans 28 km of coastline along the Great Ocean Road and includes the Port Campbell National Park and Bay of Islands Coastal Park. The spectacular limestone stacks and coastal formations, including the 12 Apostles and Loch Ard Gorge, are amongst Australia’s best known features, drawing in excess of 2.6 million visitors per year.

McGregor Coxall worked closely with the community and Project Sponsors comprising Parks Victoria, Corangamite Shire, Moyne Shire, Tourism Victoria and the Office of the Victorian Government Architect to develop the master plan. The study was informed by an extensive online community consultation process through www.shipwreckcoastyourplan.com.au The final masterplan provides a visionary plan for the future; to protect the region’s extensive natural and cultural assets and provide rich and engaging visitor experiences to support a sustainable tourism industry and the regional economy.
