Construction is under way on a new $1.2 million mini golf course in Yarrambat.
Goanna Golf will feature nine and 18-hole options at the Yarrambat Park Golf Course, as well as a new on-site cafe, and is expected to be finished in early December.
Yarrambat Park’s traditional golf course will also be upgraded as part of the works.
Golf course manager Michael McKay said the development would be a major drawcard for the area.
“Our events in recent years have allowed young families the opportunity to come together and socialise in their backyard,” he said.
“We can’t wait to bring even more inclusive entertainment options to everyone in Melbourne’s northeast.”
Nillumbik Mayor Karen Egan said the mini golf course would include an “educational component”.
“Each mini golf hole will be themed around a native Nillumbik shire animal, providing history and facts about the animals,” she said.
“Both families and school groups will be able to come down for a fun activity and learn about the beautiful native environment unique to the Nillumbik region.
“We are very excited to have an education-based attraction with multiple benefits for our community.”
