“Victorians will soon have access to thousands of hectares of new open space and parklands, with the Victorian Government investing $154 million on a ring of new parklands in fast-growing suburbs.

The funding will create up to 6,500 hectares of new parkland, walking trails, bike trails, pocket parks and dog parks – the equivalent of more than 170 Royal Botanic Gardens.

Suburbs like Officer, Clyde, Craigieburn, South Morang and Carrum will get new parks equivalent to more than 3,000 MCGs – creating a ring of new parkland across outer Melbourne.”
