THE SANDRINGHAM FORESHORE ASSOCIATION (SFA)

Founded January 2007


ABN 42947116512
A CHARITABLE NOT FOR PROFIT VOLUNTARY ASSOCIATION

PO Box 52

E-mail: [email protected]
Website www.sandyforeshore.net.au

Membership of the SFA is free of charge. The SFA is a not-for-profit, voluntary association.
Membership is open to all residents who care for the Sandringham Foreshore and its neighbouring beaches -
Hampton, Black Rock and Beaumaris beaches. Our Bayside coastline is a valuable local natural asset and should
be cared for with the utmost respect. We have in Bayside one of the best natural beachscape environments in the
world that is located close to a major city. The Bayside beaches have a long history of recreational and holiday
use.

Objectives and Aims:


1. Sustain our Sandringham foreshore & neighbouring beaches
2. Preserve its natural beauty and aesthetic value
3. Monitor cliff erosion and beaches for sand loss as sea levels rise
4. Facilitate remediation of cliffs and beaches where possible
5. Maintain healthy clean beaches and cliffs
6. Conserve natural wildlife e.g. marine life, native flora and fauna
7. Ensure a “sense of place”
8. Ensure archaeological and cultural sites are protected
9. Conserve cultural values
.......for all ages and future generations to enjoy

The Bayside beaches and its natural assets are one of the primary reasons that draw residents to choose to live in
this area and for residents outside of Bayside to visit it.

The SFA also supports all clubs and associations that provide recreational use to the public such as the
Sandringham Lifesaving Club, Sandringham Croquet club, Sandringham Football Club, Sandringham Yacht
Club, Guides and Scouts Sailing Centre, Hampton Sailing Club, Bayside Triathlon Club, Australian Volunteer
Coast Guard and the Sailboard Headquarters. It also acknowledges the important work of local community
groups such as Marine Care Ricketts Point, BRASCA, Beaumaris Conservation Society and Friends of Ricketts
Point.

The aim of the SFA is to continually consult and communicate transparently with its members, the community,
and all stakeholders concerned such as Bayside City Council, Department of Environment, Land, Water &
Planning, Parks Victoria and the Victorian Coastal Council.

Acknowledgement of Country and Indigenous Australians



The Sandringham Foreshore Association respectfully acknowledges the original custodians of the Bayside
foreshore the Boon wurrung people who are the Traditional Custodians of the Land and we pay respect to the
Elders both past and present and extend that respect to other Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people present
today. We respect the Boon wurrung people for their rich culture, deep affinity with the land and spiritual
connection to it.

Artistic and cultural appreciation of Sandringham foreshore


Sandringham foreshore is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful coastlines in Victoria with its sweeping
shore line meeting sandstone cliffs and native vegetation. This area has been treasured for its natural beauty
over the years by artists, residents, visitors and tourists, and has become particularly well known through the
work of the famous Australian artists. The whole Bayside coastline features significant rock geology and
fossils particularly concentrated at the Beaumaris Bay.
