The following organisations are on the reference group.

The intent of the design is not to reduce the number of car parks but to reduce the amount of asphalt and hardscape throughout the foreshore. 

Gippsland Ports manage the berths in the vicinity of the project site.  Any changes proposed to the water zoning areas will be required to be reviewed according to Gippsland Ports regulatory processes. 

At this stage no tenders have been let for the project.

The priority actions to address is the safety of crossing the Esplanade and the changes to the hardscaped areas. Once the hardscaping areas are complete this will enable the further development of the foreshore including the playgrounds.
