Moremac hands back land
The Moremac Property Group has announced it will be giving back to the public a large slice of its Point Lonsdale estate The Point, to ensure its environmental assets are preserved.
Fifty-six hectares will form part of a “Future Conservation Area,” and handed to the City of Greater Geelong to manage.
The company has also forged a new alliance with the Bellarine Catchment Network (BCN) to better educate residents about significant flora and fauna.
“We are pleased to form this alliance with the Bellarine Catchment Network as it is a community-focussed organisation which believes that all sections of the community need to play an active role in caring for the environment,” said Moremac Director Bryce Moore.
“The conservation areas are after all one of The Point’s most attractive elements and we are committed to ensuring the unique features of this area in Point Lonsdale continue to be protected and enhanced.”
The Point is home to significant Coastal Moonah Woodland, Coastal Alkaline Scrub and Coastal Saltmarsh.
“It is valuable to provide new residents with information on the local flora and fauna values and how they can play a role in conserving and enhancing these,” said BCN’s program manager Matt Crawley.
“Over the coming years there will be information sessions, and resources made available to the residents to inform them of the values inherent within the Conservation Areas at The Point.”
The Rip recently revealed Moremac had been given Federal Government approval to proceed with all 14 stages of the 589-lot estate. Blocks in stage six of the canal-style development have recently gone on sale.
