About the project
Parks Victoria is updating the Strategic Directions Plan for the 233-hectare Werribee River Regional Park, considering ways to provide more opportunities for local communities and visitors to enjoy healthy, outdoor activities.
Parks Victoria is also constructing a new trail linking the 223-hectare park with Werribee River, Werribee Open Range Zoo and nearby tourism destinations.
Where is the park located?
Werribee River Regional Park is in Werribee South, about 30 kilometres west of Melbourne’s CBD on Wadawurrung Country. The park follows the western bank of Werribee River from Princes Freeway to Port Phillip Bay.
When can I visit the park?
Werribee River Regional Park is open for visitors to enjoy now.
The park improvements will be delivered in stages, with initial works in 2024.
