The International Institute for Peace through Tourism with support and in collaboration with SKAL International Melbourne and the Victoria Point Owners Corporation, Docklands, Melbourne, commemorated and dedicated the 5th IIPT Global Peace Park in Australia<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

As a legacy to the 2023 SKAL Australia National Assembly the VICTORIA POINT URBAN FOREST <\/strong>was dedicated as a member of the IIPT Global Peace Park Project on 27 August 2023.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Victoria Point Urban Forest is a green infrastructure project which transforms a pedestrian thoroughfare into an inviting, publicly accessible green space where residents, workers and visitors can engage and enjoy the unique surrounds.<\/p>\n

It is located on a popular pedestrian access area to a major sporting and cultural complex, corporate headquarter precinct and transport hub in the city of Melbourne. It comprises over two thousand square metres, and the site boasts over 5000 new native plantings and 38 new trees.<\/p>\n

Janette Corcoran, Chair of the Victoria Point Owners Association said,<\/p>\n

\u201cThis new green site is significant to Docklands, an inner city location, in terms of identity and community. This is a project\u00a0for\u00a0<\/em>the community\u00a0from\u00a0<\/em>the community.\u00a0\u00a0 The realisation of this project evidences the potential for local community-led endeavour, and moves away from passivity to a more visibly active community, willing and able to contribute.\u00a0 With the inclusion of the site into the\u00a0Network of IIPT Global Peace Parks, Victoria Point is thrilled to be associated with IIPT and SKAL and we are keen to collaborate to explore what a peace park in an urban setting might be and set the new standard in Urban Forest concept and sustainability.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Tara Strickland, President SKAL International Melbourne, commented on the ongoing association and collaboration with IIPT and their commitment to embrace and continue to support the IIPT Global Peace Park Initiative.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Victoria Point Urban Forest Peace Park <\/strong>joins over 450 IIPT Global Peace Parks with the objectives to:\u00a0to nurture the growth of peace and understanding at home and throughout the world; enhance awareness of a community’s commitment to peace and a healthy environment; and to create common ground for the community to come together in celebration of their nation’s people and land.<\/p>\n
