About The Great Ocean Road Coast And Parks Authority
The Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority was established in 2020 to deliver better protection and management of the iconic coast and parks of Victoria's Great Ocean Road.
In partnership with Traditional Owners, our role is to manage, protect, rehabilitate and foster resilience of the natural, cultural and heritage values of coastal Crown land and marine waters along the Great Ocean Road.
We are a public land manager for the Great Ocean Road coast and parks, managing National Parks, coastal beaches, and town foreshores. We lead visitation policy and planning for the scenic landscapes along the Great Ocean Road to manage visitation and provide a great visitor experience.
All revenue raised through our commercial endeavours is reinvested into the coast to ensure the Great Ocean Road region can be enjoyed now and for generations to come.
