The Experiential Tours will run on Wednesday the 14th April. They will depart from the Melbourne Convention Centre at 11.00am and return to the Convention Centre by 6.00pm.
The Experiential Tours will provide inspiring and innovative opportunities for you to visit new places, experience a diversity of initiatives, participate in activities and interact with community groups to gain an understanding of what they value.
We have packaged an impressive array of *14 Tours designed to create meaning through direct experience. You will have the chance to be drawn into local nature, culture and history. These tours provide an opportunity for personal growth and time to reflect on the values and interests that are experienced on an individual level.
These experiences have been designed to show you how Healthy Parks Healthy People is being implemented in Victoria. Some of the current programs that are included in the tours have been designed to make direct connections between the health of parks and people while others are based around the philosophy of improved health through contact with nature.
The Wednesday Experiential tours are at no extra cost for the following registration types:
Full Congress Registration

Corporate Registration (one only per registration purchased)
