The Great Forest National Park is a proposal to combine more than 10 smaller parks into a world-class reserve just east of Melbourne. The park will complete a biolinks plan to cradle Melbourne and safeguard Melbourne’s key ecological assets and social values; water, food bowl security, regional jobs, recreational opportunities and wildlife sanctuaries.
