Tassell's Creek
and Balcombe
Creek were the two largest creeks on the
Mornington Peninsula's Port Phillip coast. Until 2002, neither had lost its
nearby open
space nor had its character turned into a
conduit for boats. A
10-year-old dormant scheme was reactivated to
convert the creek and its nearby open space to the vast
residential marina above.
That involved a waterway dug back 1.5 km, and 2 groynes
in Port Phillip. It has
industrialized and suburbanized this last gap
in continuous Balcombe Creek-Portsea suburbia. (Click
