Explore new Gippsland Immigration Park in Latrobe Valley with lakeside deck while enjoying family BBQ and playground
Darren Chester urges locals to explore Latrobe Valley's migration history at Gippsland Immigration Park, commending completed improvements funded by the Stronger Communities Program for enhanced accessibility and cultural appreciation.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester is encouraging locals to gain a better appreciation of the Latrobe Valley's rich migration history ahead of Australia Day. Mr Chester inspected the completed works at Gippsland Immigration Park at Morwell with a new pathway improving access to information boards.
Gippsland Immigration Park is designed for family events, features covered BBQ areas, a playground, and a lakeside deck for various functions. It aims to celebrate immigration and civic activities
The Gippsland Immigration Park Committee of Management was successful in its application to the Stronger Communities Program, which has funded works to extend the concrete pathway around Heritage Walk by 70 metres, ensuring equal access to all abilities.
"Our region has an incredible migrant history and the park is a testimony to all the different cultures which have come together to build the community we enjoy today. Well done to all the volunteers who have made it possible for locals and visitors to understand our heritage at this important park," Mr Chester said.
