Not sure if I read this right - but it looks as though the ONLY spots (at the North end of the bay) people will be able to kite are
- St Kilda
- Brighton
- Altona
- and a little spot at sandridge beach.

Is someone able to clarify?

I would have thought this would cause concern with the number of kiters (and new kiters) within Melbourne.

Tomi is correct - you can kite generally without restriction beyond the 200m line. The new zones are providing access lanes and proposed rigging areas within the safety parameters as outlined by Parks Victoria and the local Councils.

My local area looks ok, you have to remember that we are not the only ones usin the areas. My uncle is in council and he explained it to me and it makes sense.

Great idea overall

Cheers

I have to say that I am very disappointed in the proposed plans. I was involved in two of the meetings where we clearly nominated as many areas as possible that are used as kiting sites and led to believe we would be well catered for!!!!.

We aslo provided details of areas of high use that have been accepted by the local beach users and residents as kiting beaches. In the end it appears that none of this was considered. From Ricketts to Frankston has two zones, one at Parkdale that I don’t believe attracts many kiters and one at Seaford, south of Keasts park. Areas such as Aspendale and Edithvale that attract high use and provide a good leaning environment have been left out completely.

Unfortunately from my review of the proposed zones around the bay I think that we will simply all continue to break the 5 knot law and kite at our favourite spot rather than be herded into a couple of locations.

Not happy Jan!!
