The Mornington Peninsula’s tourism sector is set to benefit from new investment, following the announcement of successful projects under the Victorian Government’s Regional Tourism Investment Fund. The fund supports regional projects designed to enhance visitor experiences, attract new audiences, and strengthen Victoria’s position as a world-class destination.
Two local projects among the recipients are:
Panorama Garden Estate Tours Pty Ltd — Development of a wellness ‘Nature Pod’ at Panorama Garden Estate. This unique project will offer visitors an immersive nature-based wellness experience set within one of the Peninsula’s most beautiful private gardens.
Leeno Pty Ltd — Quealy Winemakers — Redesign and expansion of their iconic cellar door. Led by Kathleen Quealy, one of Australia’s pioneering winemakers and a leading innovator in cool-climate varietals, this redevelopment will enhance the visitor experience and strengthen the region’s reputation for premium wine tourism.
Angela Cleland, Chief Executive Officer of Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism, welcomed the announcement telling The News “Investment in projects like these ensures the Mornington Peninsula continues to lead the way in offering authentic, world-class experiences”. “Not only do they attract visitors and grow jobs, but they also celebrate our region’s unique character and creativity.” “The Mornington Peninsula Regional Tourism Board thanks the Victorian government for its continued commitment to strengthening regional tourism, particularly on the Mornington Peninsula.”
