The Entrance Peninsula Planning Strategy

Vision and purpose

Our Vision is to establish the Entrance Peninsula, with its remarkable natural and built attributes, as one of Australia’s most renowned liveable and tourist coastal destinations, for all ages and groups.

It will be a highly desirable place to live and work and an inviting place for return visits. The area’s unique coastal beauty and assets will remain a valued and integral part of community life and a strong source of local identity.
