Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester says the major upgrade of the Orbost Forest Park facilities is almost completed, and it’s set to be a hit with locals and visitors.
Mr Chester secured $1.3 million from the previous Federal Government for the project, and the East Gippsland Shire Council has also contributed more than $500,000.
A new playground and toilet block, along with increased parking and the installation of a picnic area, will encourage more visitors to take a break in Orbost and explore the Snowy River region.
