Camping and caravan holiday hotspots, and
other recreational facilities across Victoria,
are set to be revitalised, according to a
statement from the Victorian government.
The government has allocated $18.9 million to
maintain and upgrade public visitor sites and
infrastructure, including recreation reserves,
camping spots and picnic facilities.
This includes improvements at Lightwood
Creek, Mornington Peninsula National Park,
Grants Picnic Area at Dandenong Ranges
National Park, Great Otway National Park’s
Herbert Campground, The Gums site at
Kinglake National Park, Longridge
Campground in Manningham, and the Slaty
Creek camping area in Creswick Regional Park.
The government is also making available
more than $2.5 million dollars in grants for 25
projects to enhance the visitor experience at
campgrounds and caravan parks.
Public land managers responsible for
campgrounds and caravan parks have been
awarded grants of up to $200,000 at locations
in the Loddon Mallee, Barwon South West,
Grampians, Hume and Gippsland regions.
The grants will be used to improve
landscaping, increase site capacity and
all-abilities access, and establish indigenous
culture signage and information.
A second round of grants worth $2 million will
be brought forward to provide further
economic stimulus.
