In conjunction with Goulburn Murray Water, develop a Code of Practice for boat-based camping and distribute widely to other agencies and commercial operators, and at boat launching areas. Retain the group camping areas at Candlebark and Devil Cove, and consider a suitable location for a group campsite at Jerusalem Creek. Investigate the development of group lodges and further cabins in the Fraser block, possibly by a commercial operator. Maintain existing facilities for caravans at current level. Investigate the provision of boardwalks at key locations to assist access to the water in times of low water levels. Provide, under permit, designated campsites for commercial operators, and monitor impact. Improve promotion and marketing of the cabins at Fraser camping ground to increase year-round use. Encourage low impact camping practices. Allow camp-fires only in fireplaces provided (see section 3.3).
