According to the Victorian Coastal Council, the strategy aims to help conserve and manage the coast for present and future generations. It takes a broad view of the coast, from the top of the catchment to offshore, and deals with issues in a long term, ecologically sustainable context.

The draft strategy includes:

• The Future
• Working in a dynamic environment
• Demographic trends
• Economic value of the coast
• Emerging issues
  
• Principles for Coastal Planning and Management
• Framework
• Hierarchy of principles for coastal planning and management
  
• Challenges, Outcomes and Actions
• The marine and estuarine environments
• The natural onshore environment
• People on the coast
• Access
• The built environment and coastal infrastructure
• Coastal dependent industry
  
• Integration and implementation

The draft strategy has been publicly released for two months to invite comment from all interested members of the community. Submissions close on 30 June.
