With the Quarantine Station / Officer Cadet School now proclaimed part of the Point Nepean National Park, the Parks Victoria team is working on developing a master plan for the whole of Point Nepean National Park. The master plan will consolidate the planning and research done to date, and will focus on planning for the progressive development of the park.

Parks Victoria has appointed a Design Team headed by landscape architects Taylor Cullity Lethlean to assist with the process. Members of this skilled team have worked at World Heritage sites including Uluru, Lake Mungo and Daintree, and other significant places such as Port Arthur and the National Arboreteum.

Community consultation

In July 2010 the Point Nepean National Park Draft master plan was released for comment. The community consultation phase of the master plan took place from 24 July to 23 August. Throughout the month the design team and Parks Victoria staff attended community events including two local farmers markets, a stall on the main street of Sorrento, and held an Information Day at the park. The discussions with the community, and written comments submitted were varied, feedback included accommodation, water based activities, and conserving natural and cultural values. The project team is now working hard to ensure feedback received from the community is incorporated into the final master plan.
