One of the Bellarine Peninsula's most loved tourist attractions is on track to keep entertaining families this summer, thanks to upgrades supported by the Allan Labor Government.
Minister for Regional Development Gayle Tierney and Member for Bellarine Allison Marchant MP today visited the Portarlington Bayside Miniature Railway to announce the completion of maintenance works on the Railway's buildings.
The Labor Government provided 20 million Tiny Towns Fund backs community-driven projects that enhance our smallest towns, strengthen community connections, and encourage more visitors to all corners of Victoria.
Since 2014, the Labor Government has invested a record $45 billion in projects and programs designed to support regional and rural Victorian cities and towns to be even better places to live, work, stay and play.
