Improve Angler Access Program

The Government is committed to improving angler access for fishers across Victoria. As part of this initiative the Government will update the Guide to Inland Angling Waters of Victoria and provide updated maps that identify boat, vehicle and foot access to major inland and estuarine waters.

In addition, the Government will work with the Victorian Recreational Fishing Peak Body (VRFish) to identify priority areas that require access improvements. This may include building paths, fences, stiles or the provision of signs.

VRFish is working with Fisheries Victoria to identify possible areas that require access improvements.

If you want to register your interest in improving access to your local fishery please send an email to enhanced.fishing@dpi.vic.gov.au describing what the improvments are and why they are needed.
