About the park

The new 340-hectare park will be an exciting new destination for communities in and around Tarneit and Wyndham Vale.

The park will be a large, open grassland area that provides protected habitat for native plants and animals in suburban Melbourne, while also improving liveability for local communities.

The Werribee Township Regional Park will be located on the unique natural temperate grasslands of the Victorian volcanic plain. This area includes some of the best habitat and wildlife corridors for endangered species, including the growling grass frog, striped legless lizard, and golden sun moth.

Where will the park be located?

The park will be located along the banks of the Werribee River at Tarneit and Wyndham Vale in Bunurong and Wadawurrung Country.

It will be co-located with existing open space, including Presidents Park. Together they will create a large community space for relaxation and activities along the Werribee River.
