About Us
What the Club Offers At its core the Portland Dune Buggy Club enables its members to drive on the sand dunes in our Designated Dune Buggy Area. Most of our members own dune buggies (which must meet set safety standards). We also govern 4WD use by offering a 4WD booking system. A Family‑Focused Community We are a family‑focused club in our 56th year and thus have many second, third and now fourth generations of families amongst our membership. ‘The dunes’ hold a special place in our members’ hearts and we all relish the opportunity to enjoy driving on the dunes by day and enjoying one another’s company around the camp fire by night. Governance and Club Standards Our club was established in 1969. Read more about our history here. Our club is governed by our Code of Conduct, Bylaws, Technical Regulations and Constitution that cover vehicle eligibility and safety as well as member conduct. These governing documents are constantly reviewed and updated to keep in step with technology, safety for all users, government regulations and member expectations. A Unique Off‑Road Environment The Designated Dune Buggy Area spans 1800 ha area of mainly tall bare dunes and is a true mecca for off‑road enthusiasts. It's a quiet, remote place where you can camp and enjoy the solitude and the wilderness of this wind‑swept section of coast.PDBC Campground
Only financial members and those holding a valid 4WD booking may camp in the PDBC camping area. We maintain two flushing toilets in the campground. No shower or bins are provided, so you must take your rubbish home with you. There are many grassed areas suitable for tents, caravans, camper trailers etc. There are numerous bore water taps around the campground. (Not suitable for drinking). There are numerous fire rings around the campground. Fires must always be contained in these rings. Firewood must be brought with you as collecting firewood in the area is not allowed. Fires must be fully extinguished before departing the area. No dogs, cats or other pets, firearms and drones are allowed within the Discovery Bay Coastal Park under Parks Victoria law.
