Covid 19 update

Walkerville Foreshore Committee of Management Inc.

 

IMPORTANT: Please Read

Dear Campers,

Please be advised that our Rangers have been exhibiting COVID related symptoms for some days and have been isolating. One of them received a positive PCR test result today

As an immediate response, contract cleaners have been employed to clean the toilets twice daily until such time as the rangers can resume their duties.

We ask you to please contact the rangers by phone or email for any information that you may need. And please show patience and kindness as they are both quite unwell.

If you, or someone in your group exhibits COVID related symptoms, please get tested and isolate until you receive a negative result.

If any person in your group tests positive for COVID, either on a rapid antigen test or a PCR test, in addition to the Victorian Government notification requirements, you are required to immediately notify the Rangers and all members of your group will be required to leave the Camping Reserve immediately and will be unable to return until they have completed the necessary period of isolation and complied with the Victorian Government requirements for leaving isolation: see https://www.coronavirus.vic.gov.au/checklist-cases

If you are required to leave the Camping Reserve because a member of your group has tested positive to COVID, you will be entitled to a refund for the unused period of your stay.

Please continue to follow the social distancing and hygiene procedures which are on signs throughout the Walkerville Reserve.

You are required to wear a face mask in the toilet blocks, laundries and at the kiosk.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation at this time.

Yours sincerely,

WFCoM Inc.

Walkerville South Closed to recreational vehicles – 25th December 2021 – 31st January 2022

Bollards

The Walkerville South beach will be closed to recreational vehicles to reduce the risk to beach users during the peak summer period. Bollards will be installed on the beach access ramp.

Recreational vehicles – what does this mean?
The term recreational vehicle relates to motorized leisure vehicles on the beach. This includes cars (with or without trailers), trucks or utes. Kayaks may still be launched on the beach and other small water craft that don’t require a vehicle to launch them.

Walkerville North
Off the beach launching will still be available nearby at Walkerville North where there are upgraded road, car parking, sea wall and recreational facilities. There is potential car and trailer parking available for up to 37 cars with trailers at Walkerville North.

Vehicles can only be driven onto the beach at Walkerville North for the purpose of launching or retrieving a boat, and cannot be parked on the beach or driven to other parts of the beach.

Sincerely,

Walkerville Foreshore Reserve Committee of Management

Change to Camping Reserve T&Cs

Change to Camping Reserve T&Cs
We have made some changes to the camping reserve terms and conditions:
To minimise disturbance of other campers, check in times have been adjusted to prevent late arrivals in the middle of the night. Check in time is now from 1pm until 830pm. The intent is camp setup will be completed by 9pm. Boom gate access for check in will be blocked after 830pm.
Refund conditions have been refined to require an onus of proof on Covid related cancellations.

      Easter and Labour day 2022 bookings open!

      Bookings for Labour Day Long Weekend and April Victorian school holidays including Easter and Anzac day 2022 will be available to book online from:

      9am on Friday October 1st 2021

      Applicable dates are as follows:

      • Labour Day Long Weekend.  Mar 12 – Mar 14 (3 night minimum).
      • April School holidays. Apr 9 – Apr 25, including Easter Long Weekend Apr 15 – 18 (4 night minimum) and Anzac day Apr 25.

      As there will be high demand for these bookings, there are a couple of points to consider:

      • Group bookings are NOT Permitted. Put simply Single Site, Single household, Single booking.
      • Securing more than one site in a single name in either of the two periods will result in all bookings in that name being cancelled and the applicable cancellation fee being charged.  This is being done to prevent multiple sites being tied up by one person, preventing access to these sites during the release rush.
      • Sites “swap and cancel” amongst friends and family members is not allowed. So please do not have family members book a backup on your behalf in case you miss out, with a view to only keeping the “best” site. This unfairly ties up sites during the release rush.

      Sites are numbered 1 through 132.

      Sites 34 & 37 are our two bungalows. 

      Please review our Booking FAQ to see more information and to download a detailed guide on how to book.

      Good luck with your Bookings.,
