Financial brokerage firm, Mountain Assets, in collaboration with Star Investment Group Australia, are inviting current and potential investors to view the proposed Lake Narracan Resort, a waterfront development in Victoria’s Gippsland region, on Wednesday (June 5).

The project encompasses 110 acres (44.5 hectares) with plans for 350 dwellings, including apartments and a multipurpose community facility.

In a statement, Mountain Assets said the resort promised a tranquil yet vibrant living experience with easy access to nature and modern amenities, making it a highly attractive option for both residents and investors.

“This project not only delivers on returns, it also contributes to the local economy and community development.”

It said visitors on Wednesday would get a first-hand look at the progress of the resort and an opportunity to engage with the Mountain Assets team.

“Investors will have the chance to tour the development site and view the project's status; interact with the project managers and developers, and learn about the future phases and potential of the project,” the statement said.

Italian transport company, Trenitalia has kicked off its Summer Experience 2024 campaign in Rome by inviting the public to take a look into the future.
