Peachtree Creek Campground
Project status
The above timeline is subject to on-ground conditions and assessments, and obtaining the necessary permits and approvals for works.
The Project
The campground at Peachtree Creek is being upgraded to provide a better experience for visitors.
This project will improve the boat ramp, floating jetty and some associated works in the campground.
Project benefits
Visitors: The upgrades will make it safer and easier for a wide range of people to enjoy the campground.
Cultural heritage: These works will help ensure that cultural heritage and values are protected. Upgraded facilities and protections will improve opportunities for the Traditional Owner community to practice culture and connect to Country.
Environment: Improved roads, walking tracks, water access and defined camping areas will help ensure vehicles, boats and people stay on the roads, tracks and defined areas to protect surrounding vegetation.
Project funding
This project has been funded through the Victoria’s Great Outdoors program, the Victorian Government’s pandemic stimulus fund, and an $80,000 contribution from the Tamboon Peachtree Association.
Victoria’s Great Outdoors is $106.6 million investment by the Victorian Government into better campgrounds, walking trails, 4WD tracks and visitor facilities across Victoria’s parks and state forests.
Environmental and cultural heritage management
Environmental permits and approvals will be sought before any works commence on this project.
Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC) is assessing the cultural heritage on site and will ensure it is protected throughout the delivery of works.
Putting safety first
Visitor safety is our number one priority when considering risk in parks.
While nature will always be unpredictable, our projects and maintenance works help minimise risks and help people explore the great outdoors safely.
Parks Victoria is responsible for continuously managing and maintaining over 50,000 pieces of infrastructure across the state annually. We’re also delivering new projects to help visitors get into nature. These are thoroughly planned and prepared to keep people and projects separate – and safe. When visiting a park where projects are happening, especially during construction, it’s important that people follow the direction of signs, stay out of fenced and restricted areas, and listen to Parks Victoria staff and work crews.
Who are we working with?
This project is being delivered in partnership between Parks Victoria and the Department of Energy, Environment and Climate Action.
We’re working together with Traditional Owners, local communities and key stakeholders groups like the Tamoon Peachtree Association to make sure we’re getting it right.
Access changes
The camping area will be temporarily closed while work is underway, which is expected in 2025.
Visitors should to check the Parks Victoria website before planning a visit.
