Welcome to the website of the Belfast Coastal Reserve Action Group

WHO ARE WE? 

BCRAG is a community group actively involved in the protection, preservation and restoration of the Belfast Coastal Reserve's natural and cultural values. Native plant re-vegetation, bird monitoring and rubbish removal are some of the activities carried out on a regular basis. We work in conjunction with Parks Victoria, Traditional Owners and other Landcare and community groups on these projects. 

During development of the Belfast Coastal Reserve Management Plan, BCRAG was identified as a key stakeholder and was an active participant. During this process, representatives of BCRAG attended meetings with government Ministers, officers from Department of Environment Land Water and Planning, Parks Victoria and local governments. Many submissions and numerous correspondence was also provided. 

WHAT DO WE DO? 

The Belfast Coastal Reserve Action Group has spent the last 5 years working to protect the Reserve between Warrnambool & Port Fairy from the damage caused by Commercial Horse Training. 

We are now focusing on revegetation, removal of weeds and educating the broader community about the importance of protecting the Belfast Coastal Reserve.

Since 2016 we have been actively co-ordinating revegetation and weed removal projects in the BCR.
