The construction marks next steps in progress of the Myrtleford Splash Park, which was originally brought to Council by the Myrtleford Chamber of Commerce.
Through extensive community consultation, the Chamber developed concept designs that reflected the unique character of Myrtleford, which were used to apply for external funding opportunities to bring the project to life.
Due to the nature of construction, the majority of the materials have been prefabricated off-site and will be shipped in to be installed.
Alpine Shire Mayor, Cr John Forsyth, welcomed this timely start to what has been a highly anticipated project for the Myrtleford community.
"The Myrtleford Splash Park has been community-led from the very beginning," he said.
"It will be an asset enjoyed by both community members and holiday makers for many years to come."

This project is fully funded by the Commonwealth Government under the Black Summer Bushfire Recovery (BSBR) Grants Program.
