Revegetation Works Coming to Port Campbell

Published on 31 July 2025

We’re preparing to roll out important revegetation works at Port Campbell, helping to make one of Victoria’s most iconic coastal destinations even safer and more beautiful.

In partnership with the Heytesbury District Landcare Network, a selection of low-growing indigenous plants – grown locally – will be planted along the clifftop near the main lookout.

The works aim to improve visitor safety by discouraging access too close to the cliff edge and enhance local biodiversity by providing valuable habitat for native species.

Importantly, the project will protect the iconic views by using low-growing plants that won’t obstruct the sweeping ocean outlook.

Our Conservation team has carefully selected coastal species that are well-suited to local conditions, ensuring a strong chance of long-term success with minimal impact to the surrounding landscape.

The species being planted include Tetragonia implexicoma (Bower Spinach), Rhagodia candolleana subsp. candolleana (Seaberry Saltbush), and Ficinia nodosa (Knobby Club-rush).

These hardy, coastal-loving plants will help stabilise the landscape while supporting long-term environmental health in the area.

Revegetation works will commence in the coming weeks. Visitors will notice informative signage onsite explaining what’s happening and how these efforts support the local environment.

We’re proud to enhance biodiversity while protecting the natural features that make Port Campbell so special.
