Marlo - Foreshore Management Plan Implementation

We are delivering improvements to the Marlo Foreshore to enhance recreation facilities, accessibility and overall visitor experience at this well‑used fishing and community destination.

The project focuses on upgrading ageing infrastructure and providing safer, more inclusive amenities that better support locals and visitors of all ages and abilities, while maintaining the foreshore’s role as a valued public space.

The Marlo Foreshore Management Plan provides clear and agreed directions for management of the foreshore areas adjoining the Marlo township. The overarching management objective is to recognise the potential for recreational pursuits and tourism opportunities within the area whilst maintaining important environmental values.

Project Scope

Two options for future enhancement of the Marlo foreshore area were considered by the Marlo Resident and Ratepayers Association. Further scope options outside of these may be considered.

The Marlo Foreshore improvements will deliver:

• Replacement of the existing barbeque shelter and installation of a new barbeque.
• New picnic tables and bench seating.
• Construction of accessible (DDA‑compliant) footpaths.
• Upgraded parking areas, including accessible parking and shared spaces.
• Installation of supporting infrastructure such as bin stands and bicycle stands.

In addition to the Marlo Foreshore Management Plan, Council wishes to establish a sustainable stormwater strategy for the township of Marlo to address existing flooding issues brought to its attention through community feedback. To read more visit: Marlo Town Drainage
