Project Update - 10 October 2023

The tender for construction of the Orbost Forest Park civil works was awarded at the 26 September Council meeting to local East Gippsland business Whelans Group Investments.

The revised scope for the upgrade of the park was required to meet the available budget and was approved by the project reference group.

Whelans are hoping to mobilise to site to conduct some of the initial works prior to Christmas and then commence further works in the New Year. The upgrade of the park will greatly improve local amenity and visitor experience.
