"The transition of the management of Victoria’s fourth zoo – Kyabram Fauna Park
– to Zoos Victoria will see a boost in regional tourism and jobs, supported by
$3 million from the Victorian government. As of today, the park has officially
become part of the Zoos Victoria family, with the completion of upgraded
facilities.
Children under 16 will now receive free admission to Kyabram Fauna Park on
weekends, public holidays and school holidays as part of a $20 million
government initiative, which already includes free entry to Zoos Victoria’s
other properties: Melbourne Zoo, Werribee Open Range Zoo and Healesville
Sanctuary.
A new visitor centre at Kyabram Fauna Park, refurbished Education and
Conservation Centre, improved animal exhibits, predator-proof fencing and
pathways mark the completion of $1.94 million in infrastructure works – part of
a $2.7 billion government package to create jobs, tourism and support local
economies.
Situated on 55 hectares of parkland and wetlands in northern Victoria, Kyabram
Fauna Park has more than 600 animals, including Tasmanian devils, quolls,
dingoes, koalas, kangaroos, wombats, echidna, emus and southern cassowary. A
mob of meerkats has also recently arrived."
