Land Handover

Since its inception in April 2008, the Villawood Properties purchasers have enabled us to donate over 109 hectares of forested land to the Greater Bendigo National Park.

The first official hand over was carried out on 21 May 2010. The land donation was officially accepted by the Hon. Gavin Jennings Minister for Environment, Climate Change and Innovation on behalf of the Victorian Government who have now taken ownership of the land for future conservation.

Donated as a result of the sale of over 1100 land allotments in Villawood communities across Victoria, the gift represents one of the first donations of its kind.

On accepting the land donation Minister Gavin Jennings said the Villawood’s forestSTAR program demonstrates a firm commitment to environmentally friendly development.

“I am pleased to accept this unique land donation on behalf of the Victorian Government, and congratulate Villawood Properties on their environmental initiative,” Mr Jennings said.

Villawood looks forward to making future donations of forested land – check back here for updates.
