Overview
Project overview
We want to hear from everyone who lives at, visits and loves Moffat Beach, to better understand our community’s values and ideas which will inform the development of the Moffat Beach Place Plan.
The Moffat Beach Place Plan will guide how we improve and manage public spaces including street areas and parks, to support the community's ongoing use and enjoyment of them. The plan will contain short-term and longer-term ideas, and will consider environmental changes, pedestrian access, traffic parking and safety issues. It will help protect and add to Moffat Beach’s special history, culture, character, and ecology.
The project area includes the broader Moffat Beach suburb. It will focus on the commercial activity area including Seaview Terrace and adjacent recreation areas, Eleanor Shipley Park and Moffat Beach Park as shown in the map below. We invite you to help shape the future of this much-loved local place.

Next steps
Community feedback from this first phase of engagement will inform a draft public realm vision, values and design principles, which will guide the development of the draft Moffat Beach Place Plan. The second phase of engagement will include checking back in with our community and stakeholders to ensure that feedback has been captured and confirm 'have we got it right'.
Background
Moffat Beach is a thriving, much loved, place and we have an opportunity to preserve what is valued today, while looking at how to make its public spaces even better.
The Moffat Beach Place Plan will build on previous feedback that Council has received relating to the Shelly Beach to Moffat Beach Coastal Study, the Moffat Beach Seawall Reconstruction Project, the Healthy Coast Management Plan and the Make Moffat Beach Shine Petition. We will also acknowledge previous planning and engagement that the community has contributed to including the Shoreline Erosion Management Plan, Environment and Liveability Strategy and the Coastal Hazard Adaptation Strategy.
Frequently asked questions
The Moffat Beach Place Plan is a plan for the future of Moffat Beach's public spaces. It outlines the community’s vision for the public spaces and actions to achieve the vision.
The purpose of the Moffat Beach Place Plan is to:
- capture our community’s values and vision for Moffat Beach’s public spaces
- guide how we can improve and manage the shared public spaces, like the streets and parks, where we walk, gather and interact with each other
- make it safer and easier for people to walk around the suburb
- reinforce the unique Moffat Beach character
- look at how Council can schedule projects into the future to deliver on our community’s vision
- guide future opportunities for grants and other funding sources.
Community feedback gathered through the Shelly Beach to Moffat Beach Coastal Study, the Moffat Beach Seawall Reconstruction Project, the Healthy Coast Management Plan and the Make Moffat Beach Shine Petition has identified that Moffat Beach could benefit from having a long-term plan to guide future investment and change.
The project team will assess feedback and use it to develop a clear set of draft values and vision for our community to review.
Our community will have multiple opportunities to have their say throughout the preparation of the place plan. The place plan will incorporate community feedback, stakeholder input and technical advice and recommendations. The aim of the place plan is to balance these inputs and to create sustainable place outcomes now and into the future.
The place plan is being funded by Council's Minor Capital Works Program, and is supported by the Divisional Councillor (Cr. Terry Landsberg).
There are currently no funds committed to implement projects that arise from the place plan.
The place plan will guide future funding applications including grants.
Attend one of engagement sessions including pop-ups at the park or a workshop, fill out an online survey or share a photo and special story of Moffat Beach. Encourage your kids, parents, friends, colleagues and neighbours to get involved. We want to hear from everyone who, lives, visits and loves Moffat Beach.
