Map Listing Terms, Conditions and Integrity Statement

Last updated: June 2026

Purpose of the Regenerative Peninsula Map

The Regenerative Peninsula Map is the beginning of a living map for flourishing people, places and living systems.

It helps make visible the people, projects, businesses, farms, community groups, educators and organisations already contributing to the economic, social and ecological health and vitality of the Mornington Peninsula and surrounding region.

The map is a demonstration project and participatory directory. It is designed to support visibility, learning, connection and collaboration.

The map is part of Regenerating Mornington Peninsula’s wider work to build relationships, support place based learning, and grow the foundations for a future bioregional regenerative learning and research centre.

What the map is and is not

The Regenerative Peninsula Map is not a certification, accreditation, ranking system, formal assessment, verification process or endorsement.

Inclusion on the map does not mean that Regenerating Mornington Peninsula has certified, verified, approved, assessed or endorsed a listed person, business, project, farm, group, organisation, product, service, claim or practice.

The map is intended to make visible people and initiatives who self identify as contributing to the economic, social or ecological health and vitality of the Peninsula.

Submissions may be reviewed for clarity, relevance, consent and alignment with the purpose of the map before being added. This review does not constitute certification, verification, endorsement or formal assessment.

Regenerating Mornington Peninsula does not make environmental, sustainability, regenerative, social, cultural or impact claims on behalf of listed people or organisations. Listings are based on information supplied by the person or organisation submitting the listing.

People using the map are responsible for making their own enquiries and decisions before engaging with any listed person, business, project, group or organisation.

Submitting a listing

By submitting a listing form, you are asking Regenerating Mornington Peninsula to consider including your business, farm, project, community group, organisation, initiative or personal practice on the map.

Submitting a form does not guarantee inclusion.

You confirm that you have the authority to submit this listing on behalf of the person, business, farm, project, group, organisation or initiative named in the form.

Regenerating Mornington Peninsula may contact you to clarify your information before or after publication.

If the information provided is clear and suitable for the map, Regenerating Mornington Peninsula may publish the listing using the information provided in the form.

Accuracy of information

You confirm that the information you provide is accurate to the best of your knowledge.

You agree not to provide false, misleading, deceptive, exaggerated, incomplete or unsupported information.

You agree to let Regenerating Mornington Peninsula know if any information in your listing needs to be updated, corrected or removed.

Environmental and sustainability claims

This section is included to support clear, accurate and responsible environmental and sustainability claims.

You are solely responsible for the accuracy, legality and supportability of all environmental and sustainability claims you provide.

Environmental and sustainability claims must be clear, accurate, truthful, not misleading, and based on reasonable grounds.

If you make environmental, sustainability, regenerative or impact claims, you confirm that you have reasonable grounds for those claims at the time you submit them.

You agree not to make claims that may make your product, service, project, business, organisation or initiative seem better, more sustainable, more ethical, more regenerative, less harmful, or more environmentally beneficial than it really is.

You agree not to omit important information where that omission could make an environmental, sustainability, regenerative or impact claim misleading.

You agree not to use broad, vague or absolute claims without explanation.

Examples may include project descriptions, photos, case studies, community references, partner references, certifications, memberships, public commitments, policies, reports, outcomes, data, or examples of changed practice over time.

Regenerating Mornington Peninsula may edit, qualify, decline to publish or remove specific claims where they are unclear, broad, unsupported, contested or may create misleading conduct risk.

Regenerating Mornington Peninsula may refuse, edit, pause, review or remove a listing where claims are unclear, misleading, unsupported, contested, harmful or not aligned with the purpose of the map.
