LARA MP Ella George has ruled out any move to make Serendip Sanctuary a paid attraction, rejecting community calls to introduce ticketed entry to help expand its animal exhibits.<\/p>\n

Her comments follow persistent concern among residents about the long-term future of the sanctuary, which once drew visitors for its successful captive breeding program for threatened and endangered species.<\/p>\n

Parks Victoria began removing native animal exhibits from the site in mid-2022, despite community feedback supporting the retention of the program.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

A business case for Serendip’s future, released under freedom of information legislation last year, confirmed Parks never intended to continue captive breeding under its renewed vision for the site<\/a>.<\/p>\n

That vision is backed by $11 million in state government funding, with improvements to the site’s education centre, roaming wildlife viewing areas, entry and car park expected to begin in the new year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Last month, Parks Victoria general manager David Petty told this masthead the organisation did not have the resources to operate Serendip as a full-scale wildlife service<\/a>, but confirmed it was in discussions with Zoos Victoria and Odonata about establishing a haven for “insurance populations” of certain species, mostly birds, within the sanctuary.<\/p>\n

The Lara Care Group remains firmly opposed to the new direction and continues to push for the return of wildlife exhibits<\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The group has called for a model similar to Kyabram Fauna Park to be considered to boost tourism and provide the funds needed to restore and maintain an endangered species breeding program.<\/p>\n

“If we want to have an attraction, if we want to put value into it, there may be some elements of Serendip which could be commercial,” group spokesperson Barry White said.<\/p>\n

“I’m talking about hospitality, I’m talking about an art gallery, a photo gallery and guided tours.”<\/p>\n

Ms George said she would not support any proposal that would see families purchasing tickets to visit Serendip.<\/p>\n

“Keeping Serendip free ensures it remains accessible to everyone,” she said. “It fosters an inclusive environment where nature can be appreciated by all, regardless of socioeconomic status. I think this is particularly important when many families are struggling with the cost of living.”<\/p>\n

She agreed, however, that small-scale commercial elements, such as a cafe, gift shop or ranger-led tours, could help raise funds to reinvest in the sanctuary.<\/p>\n

Mr Petty said keeping Victoria’s national and state parks free ensured everyone can connect with nature.<\/p>\n

“This includes Serendip Sanctuary, where we continue to support its role in education, conservation and as a place to see free-roaming wildlife,” he said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
