Project Update 15/02/2022

Following a thorough community consultation period in 2021 and constructive feedback, Council has decided to heavily revise the initial concept for Forest Park, Orbost, which will revitalise and modernise the town’s premier recreation area, visitor rest-stop and gateway to its rail trail.

In response to this feedback, a new concept plan is being developed with public release to occur in the next two months.

The project will stimulate the local economy and provide significant community benefits to the town.

Council will reconvene a representative group from the community during this time to ensure our response to the feedback is appropriate. Once a new concept plan is developed, planning for procurement and construction will be able to commence.

Council would like to take this opportunity to thank the wider community of Orbost for their valuable input.
