Express your coastal love in GORCC survey

THE Great Ocean Road Coast Committee (GORCC) is asking people to help protect the coast by contributing to its 2018 Coastal User Survey.

The survey is open, with all participants going into the draw to win a $1,000 Rip Curl voucher.

The Great Ocean Road Coast Committee’s Coastal User Survey provides insights into the views, desires and behaviour of people visiting the Great Ocean Road coastline across Point Impossible, Torquay and Cumberland River, near Lorne.

GORCC chief executive officer Richard Davies said the survey was a critical element of the committee’s coastal management planning process.

“Over the next few months we will be reviewing our plan for the next five years with the community,” he said.

“The Coastal User Survey is a very useful tool in this process, helping us to map attitudes and priorities.”

The objectives of the survey are to:

• Measure community satisfaction levels
• Identify any community concerns or key issues
• Measure changes in uses and attitudes over time.

The survey is available at gorcc.com.au or surveymonkey.com/r/2018_GORCC_Survey. The survey closes at 5pm on April 1.

The Great Ocean Road Coast Committee is a not-for-profit organisation that manages 37 kilometres of public land and coastline from Torquay to Lorne.
