Johanna Public Purposes Reserve - May 2025

We’ve been appointed as the land manager for the Johanna Public Purposes Reserve (tennis courts).

Why are land management transfers taking place?

The coasts and parks along the Great Ocean Road are so special, and so important to Victorians, that the Government established the Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority as the dedicated parks manager.

We are excited to continue our evolution as the dedicated Crown land and sea manager for the Great Ocean Road coast and parks, taking on management responsibility for further land, sea and bushland parcels. 

As at 16 May, we’ve been appointed as the land manager for the Johanna Public Purposes Reserve (tennis courts).

This transfer date coincides with the expiry of the existing Committee of Management, the Johanna Public Purposes Recreation Reserve Committee Incorporated, who have carefully managed the site for more than a decade.

These are a part of a series of transfers of land management responsibility within the Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks that is enabling holistic management of this iconic and treasured part of Victoria.
