Freeing the rivers

The Upper House has passed legislation to legalise camping on Crown Land with river frontage and grazing licences from September 2021, complementing recreational activities already permitted on Crown Land like fishing.

This is a big step forward in delivering the State Government’s Target One Million commitment, which will make it easier for families to pitch a tent by a river somewhere, wet a line with friends, and enjoy Victoria’s great outdoors responsibly!

Fisheries Officers will play a key role in ensuring everyone does the right thing and extensive consultation with licence holders, fishers, traditional owners and regional communities will be undertaken soon.
