This is a campaign site to save Werribee Open Range Zoo from corporate takeover by Village Roadshow.

They propose to build an African themed amusement park, taking over the Zoo, it's animals and the surrounding crown land.

They want full control of the zoo including stewardship of the animals.

They want a subsidy of $100 million toward their building and establishment costs and a 99 year lease for their exclusive use of the land. The land in question is land managed by the State Government on behalf of the Victorian people.

They want this to be given the green light by the end of MAY 2008.


We want evidence that this proposal has been fully evaluated and that proper consultation has been conducted.

In the absence of this, we say 'No'.
