Upgrades to commence on Victoria’s Cape Conran facilities

The Victorian Government has advised of upgrades to the existing campground at Banksia Bluff delivering a new multi-use recreation area which will host school visits and campers, as part of a $29 million investment in the Gippsland coast at Cape Conran

Visitor attractions and facilities will also include 10 new cabins offering year-round roofed accommodation, the East Cape Boardwalk, Salmon Rocks lookout, a boat ramp for fishers and divers, shelters, bridges, barbecues – making Cape Conran an outdoor destination for all ages.

While works are underway, the site remains open to campers with the finished project to expand the number of people who can stay at this coastal campground – with Victorians encouraged to take advantage of half-price fees as part of the State Government’s $10.5 million investment in Victorian Budget 2025/26.

The project will deliver drinking water to the Cape Conran office, the new cabins, activity centre and create a new wastewater system for the park.

The opportunity for a shared-use path on top of a proposed pipeline was also explored, but following extensive investigation and planning from Parks Victoria, this option was found not to be feasible.
