There will be more to do and more places to stay at the popular Point Nepean National Park thanks to a $10.5 million investment by the Andrews Labor Government.
Minister for Environment and Climate Action Lily D’Ambrosio and Chris Brayne MP inspected the recently completed new campground at Point Nepean’s historic Quarantine Station on Bunurong Country.
The new campground features pre-pitched tents on timber platforms and caters for range of abilities, including those with little experience or limited gear.
The campground will open this spring, boosting the visitor experience, fostering conservation, providing unique outdoor activities and supporting local businesses.
$6 million Upgrade for Historic Fort Nepean
The Labor Government is also investing $6 million towards the restoration of parts of Fort Nepean, allowing visitors to explore a part of Victoria’s military history.
Fort Nepean was built in the 1800s to provide protection for Victoria’s rich goldfields, it became a critical military defence post and was the site of the first Australian shots fired for both World Wars.
“Point Nepean is a popular drawcard for tourism in along the Peninsula and these improvements will mean more options for people of all abilities.”
