Oakdene estate, Ocean Grove
Alison MARCHANT (Bellarine) (19:03): (922) My adjournment matter is for the Minister for Tourism, Sport and Major Events, and the action I request is for the minister to attend and visit Oakdene estate when they officially open their new extension, which was supported by the Regional Tourism Investment Fund in 2022. Thanks to a $2 million investment from the state government, a new modern public art gallery, restaurant, tasting room and event space are close to being open at Oakdene vineyards. We welcome everyone to attend that popular winery on the peninsula. This project has supported local construction jobs and will boost the Bellarine’s growing food, wine and art industries. Many people from across our country travel down to the coast to have this experience. I would be pleased to welcome the minister to visit Oakdene estate to see firsthand our government’s investment in regional tourism and on the Bellarine.
