Learn about how Discovery Parks – Nagambie Lakes was rebuilt in partnership with Bunnings Trade in this guide from Bunnings.

The story so far

In October 2022, devastating floods ripped through Victoria, causing extensive damage to multiple towns and thousands of homes. Lake Nagambie was one of the affected areas, and its surrounding parks were severely impacted by the flooding, including Discovery Parks – Nagambie Lakes, a well-loved holiday park known for its scenic views and family-friendly activities. The site needed to be closed for rebuilding due to the destruction.

This had a significant negative impact on the community, as the park was a vital tourist attraction and source of income for many residents. To aid in the rebuilding process, the park partnered with Bunnings Trade. Rebuilding and restoration are currently underway, with the park set to reopen in December 2023.

Read on to follow the journey so far and to learn more about the support Bunnings Trade can provide to large-scale community projects.

An existing partnership

In 2019, Discovery Parks – Nagambie Lakes established a strategic partnership with Bunnings Trade. Bunnings Trade is dedicated to supporting businesses by offering comprehensive and trade-specific solutions and services, such as bulk ordering, on-site deliveries, and dedicated Account Managers. Its commitment to excellent customer service and reliability has made Bunnings Trade the preferred choice for many trade professionals.

Discovery Parks – Nagambie Lakes was especially fond of Bunnings Trade’s Load ‘n’ Go delivery service, which ensured fast-tracked delivery, saving time and simplifying the process.

Bunnings Trade ensures convenience and efficiency, even during difficult times. After the floods hit, Discovery Parks – Nagambie Lakes’ Park Manager was assigned a dedicated Account Manager from Bunnings Trade who oversaw all of the building materials and deliveries, and provided ongoing support.

Bunnings Trade provided all of the necessary materials for the rebuilding process, including soft furnishings, building materials, and more. It also provided functional designs for the park's needs and essential items for the reconstruction, including kitchens, shower bases, plaster, and tapware.

This collaboration between the park and Bunnings Trade simplified the rebuilding process through exclusive pricing, organised procurement, and timely delivery.
