It is quite clear that Parks Victoria seems desperate to monetise their parks. But in more cases than not there simply isn't enough demand nor enough drawcards in most of the Victoria's National Parks.

This is all pie in the sky stuff that is unlikely to proceed in to the extent envisaged. I simply don't see the demand for it nor do I see any sane private organisation wanting to invest that sort of money until it is clear that there is a demand.

Most of the great walking tracks have grown organically. Once numbers increase then extra track work and facilities are both necessary and supported by the numbers. Trying to manufacture a track and demand for it is a difficult process. All that said they DID manage to manufacture The Great Ocean Walk but that was already a very popular tourist destination.
