Beaumaris Foreshore Reserve at
The area between the Beaumaris Cliff
and the sea is a 1.2 hectare area of filled coast and seabed leased in 1997 to
Beaumaris Motor Yacht Squadron Ltd.
for 21 years till 2018 at a rental of $13,000 per
year, with a right of renewal.
Although the filling, which was begun in 1959, covers some of the best fossil areas, it is not
included in the
Beaumaris Bay Fossil Site
on the Register of the National Estate, but is an enclave surrounded by that
Site.
The 1.2 hectare land leased from the
Crown is, however, part of the
Environmental Significance Overlay
under the Bayside Planning Scheme, both of which also cover the nearby seabed.
See the indigenous plants
and the pest plants recorded on this section of the foreshore.
