About the park

This new 215-hectare park will be an exciting new destination for communities in and around Caroline Springs and Deanside. The park will be a large, open grassland area that provides a protected habitat for native plants and animals in suburban Melbourne while improving liveability for local communities.

There will also be a 45-hectare conservation area beside the new park in future years.

Kororoit creek surrounded by dry landscape

The area of the Kororoit Creek Regional Park includes Federally recognised conservation areas with some of the best-remaining habitats and wildlife corridors for endangered species, including the growling grass frog, striped legless lizard, rare moths and flowers, and important remnant grasslands.

Where will the park be located?

The park will be located between Deanside, Caroline Springs and Ravenhall in Melbourne’s north-west on the lands of the Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung People. It will be easy to access for residents and connect growing communities in surrounding areas.
