Towong Shire Council has developed a draft plan for the sustainable use of the Mount Elliot State Forest Reserve as an adventure tourism destination. The Mount Elliot Adventure Park Masterplan is now on public exhibition and the community is invited to provide feedback.
Mount Elliot is located 7km east of Corryong and has been identified as a suitable location for numerous recreational sports and activities. The Masterplan provides a well-considered and costed pathway for the development of an accessible, high quality, and sustainable adventure destination product, that leverages on the natural setting to provide both a community asset and tourism drawcard. Upon fruition, the Mount Elliot Adventure Park will deliver positive social and economic outcomes for the Upper Murray communities. Following the proposed adoption of the plan, Council will consider the development for future infrastructure funding opportunities.
The Mount Elliot Adventure Park Masterplan has been informed by considerable stakeholder engagement and research. The project has proven a priority of, and of value to, the Upper Murray community. All feedback will be considered before the plan is finalised and formally adopted.
The Masterplan is available to view below, or you can request a copy by contacting Council’s Customer Service Team on 1300 365 222 or info@towong.vic.gov.au.
