Grampians tourism investment on the right track

The Grampians National Park feels like a place carved specifically to make you stop, stare, and breathe a little deeper. Towering sandstone ridges rise out of the landscape, framing sweeping views that seem to stretch forever. Waterfalls tumble into fern‑lined creeks and native wildlife wanders through open woodland. It's a special place.

Support from the Victorian Government is making the park an even better experience for visitors, thanks to almost $19 million investment through the Tourism Infrastructure Program.

Mackenzie Falls

Construction is underway at Mackenzie Falls to improve accessibility, safety, and overall visitor experience. Works include:

• expanded parking
• upgraded trails and lookouts, including universal access to Bluff Lookout
• new visitor area at the base, including a viewing platform
• educational signage.

Grampians Peaks  Trail

The opening of the Mt Zero (Mura Mura) Trailhead marks the completion of the final major trailhead upgrade delivered at the world-class Grampians Peaks Trail. The Grampians Peaks Trails – Trailheads project delivered:

• major trailhead upgrades at Dunkeld, Mt Zero (Mura Mura) and Halls Gap (Budja Budja)
• minor upgrades at 13 other trailheads.

Further upgrades delivered:

• track upgrades
• ‘selfie-sites’
• fire pits
• seating and picnic tables
• landscaping
• signage
• toilets and improved carpark.

Brambuk Cultural Centre

Construction is underway on upgrades to the Brambuk Cultural Centre. These works have been undertaken following significant engagement with Traditional Owner communities and stakeholders to shape a shared vision and future plans for the Brambuk precinct.

The project aims to reinvigorate Brambuk as:

• a significant place of strengthening and renewal for Gariwerd Traditional Owners
• a hub for cultural learning and First Peoples tourism

The project includes:

• feasibility studies, design and consultation with Traditional Owner groups

• upgrades of accessible car parking, pathways and toilets

• replacing roof cladding
• installing a temperature-controlled artefact storage room
• upgrades to fire services, electrical, lighting, heating and cooling systems
• carrying out general restoration and compliance.

This work builds on the earlier Brambuk Re-imagining project, funded by Regional Development Victoria, which developed a masterplan with the Gariwerd Traditional Owners.

Together, these projects will make it easier for more people to experience the natural beauty of the Grampians. They are supporting the region’s reputation as a premier nature-based tourism destination.

These projects will also help the local tourism sector to rebound from the 2025 bushfires. They build on the more than $29 million bushfire recovery support package for businesses across the Grampians and Wimmera Mallee regions.

Since 2021, investment in tourism infrastructure has supported over 200 projects across regional and rural Victoria, creating thousands of jobs and ensuring Victoria is a must-visit location.
