Government Gazette original beach proclamations
Monday, July 24th, 2006Thanks to Tas666.com for pointing out these scans of the Victorian Government Gazette showing the original proclamations of some of our most popular clothing optional beaches.
The legislative process (at its most basic) requires a zone to be proclaimed by the Victorian Government before it can be allocated for use by the local responsible council. The process is convoluted and it is often difficult to tell which Minister is responsible for the State side of the equation. It can also be just as difficult identifying the appropriate responsbile person within a council – frequently it’s a “hot potatoe” issue, and can result in “on the quiet” changes in ordinances (refer to articles in the “Beaches” section for discussions on beach status and the sudden changes that can be felt!)
If anyone has updates to these links, or more recent proclamations that they are aware of, please let us know and we will update this information.
