What are the issues?This is a featured page

In a nutshell the issues can be boiled down to


  • Process
    • No community consultation for the use of this asset
    • No evaluation (unbiased or otherwise) of the proposal

  • Content.
    • The 'gifting' of a public asset, the Werribee Park Precinct land + it's infrastructure, flora and fauna (Including the Zoo livestock) + $100 Million to Village Roadshow.

Furthermore is the despicable conduct of the State Government towards some of the key stakeholders.

We refer to
  • The secrecy around the details of the proposal, especially the conditions of the 99 year lease that is sought. This lease will render this Crown land inaccessible to the Victorian People
  • the increasing restrictions on bodies such as Parks Victoria, Zoos Victoria, Werribee Open Range Zoo, stopping them from protesting or even informing the public of the facts as they know it.


Fortunately, internet caching prevails. Here, too.

Thank you for looking up this website.

We are campaigning to stop Village Roadshow - Warner from their proposed takeover of Werribee Open Range Zoo. They want to use the zoo grounds, the animals and the surrounding crown land (that's land 'owned' by the Victorian People) to build an amusement theme park.

Don't get us wrong. We understand how good this looks at first glance.

But you've looked this site up, which tells us that you've already realised that there may actually be more to this than meets the eye.

So, that's the point of this discussion forum - it's a place to take a good look at what this proposal actually would mean. You can have your say about the issues and make up your own mind about whether you agree with blocking this proposal. And what you can do about it.

Best Regards,


Campaign Manager on behalf of SOZ
