Heritage Icons Projects
Parks Victoria is responsible for managing the state’s largest and most diverse collection of heritage places on public land. From buildings to shipwrecks to archaeological sites, Parks Victoria maintains a vast collection of heritage places and objects – providing the community with opportunities to re-engage with, reinterpret and learn from the past.
A $16.5 million investment from the Victorian Government will continue Parks Victoria’s important heritage work by restoring and repairing five iconic sites across the state. Works will protect and preserve these places for future generations to enjoy, and will take place at:
- Werribee Park Mansion
- Fort Nepean
- Wilsons Promontory Lightstation
- Cape Schanck Lightstation
- Point Hicks Lighthouse
- Cape Otway Lightstation (managed by the Great Ocean Road Coast and Parks Authority)
Planning and assessments are currently underway for the Heritage Icons works. Further details on individual projects will be added to this page soon. In the meantime, read our recent news story to find out more about the program: Historic Lightstations, Forts and Mansion to get a new lease on life.
Parks Victoria recognises that Aboriginal and Torres Strait Island peoples are connected to the oldest continuing living cultures in the world.
