Live Wire Park Coming Soon!

The Lorne community (and surrounds) are wondering what exactly is happening at 180 Erskine Falls Road. If you don’t already know, Live Wire Park is what is happening. Live Wire Park is going to be an electrifying world class tree top adventure park aimed at entertaining people who enjoy nature and adventurous pursuits in one of the world’s most beautiful regions.

The park will be made up of four main attractions. Two extreme ropes courses (one for youngsters and one for mid-teens and adults), a suspended canopy walkway and the Shockwave Zip Coaster; which will be the most extreme roller coaster zip line in the world.

Throughout this five year journey, we have had tremendous help and support from the local Lorne community, in particular the Surf Coast Shire, the Committee for Lorne, Lorne Ward councillor Clive Goldsworthy and other passionate supporters. I can honestly say that without this support, Live Wire Park may never have received the Victorian Planning Minister’s approval. Meeting and including the local community has been one of the most satisfying elements in the realisation of this project and is something I am looking forward to expanding as we move forward. I would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank all of those involved in getting this project across the line both in actually making over and above efforts to help and to those who have voiced their enthusiasm.

A team of eight French specialist builders are temporarily calling Lorne home over the next couple of months and we have engaged local businesses to feed and accommodate “The Frenchies”. This team has built over 400 parks worldwide and are considered to be leaders in the industry, delivering thrills and experiences to people all over the globe.

A further team of six specialist builders arrive to Lorne next week to begin the installation of the Shockwave Zipcoaster. This thrilling attraction travels throughout the treetops at jaw dropping speeds, turns corners and guarantees an eye watering, white knuckled experience for those brave enough to take it on. It will be one of only five of these particular zip lines worldwide.

Live Wire Park has been designed to have a minimal ecological footprint on the land it sits on. We are harnessing our own power and water and are also treating our own waste on site. Passionate local contractors have been engaged to take on construction of the on-site administration and harnessing buildings. Local expertise has been critical in facing and conquering challenging design situations and obstacles on site.

We will also be hiring soon (in the next few weeks) and are now accepting applications from enthusiastic, energetic and cheerful regional locals. Please send through your CV to [email protected]

We are looking forward to opening Live Wire Park and presenting a world class attraction to the already stunning Great Ocean Road region.
