Victoria's fishing community important to our parks estate

Parks Victoria and VRFish have established a formal partnership to facilitate and promote recreational fishing opportunities for all Victorians who visit and enjoy our parks' estate. Parks Victoria has issued a communiqué which encourages and actively supports Victorians and visitors to “Go Fishing” in Victoria.

Recreational Fishing and Park Management agrees that "future management plans for public parks will endeavour to
maintain existing previous levels of access for recreational fishing". The communique also states Parks Victoria will consult with recreational and commercial fishers during the development of all management plans for parks where fishing is a current or likely activity.
