THE Friends of Ocean Grove Nature Reserve have hailed the start of works to improve the reserve’s parking, visitor information and access.
The upgrades are being funded by $245,000 from the Victorian government.
Following community consultation and feedback on the original design, Parks Victoria reassessed the scope of the proposed upgrade and discussed options with the Friends of Ocean Grove Nature Reserve, who agreed to an amended proposal for the upgrades.
Bellarine MP Lisa Neville met with Friends of Ocean Grove Nature Reserve members Lel Shipley, Beth Ross and Barbara Spiller last week to inspect the progress so far, which includes preparatory works for the car park such as the removal of some trees and the preservation of others.
