The re-imagining of the Kongwak Butter Factory buildings and the associated masterplan enables a rich and holistic expression of Gippsland through the intermingling of food, culture, art, landscape, and environment. Visitors from both near and far will have the opportunity to explore, relax and connect with this special place on their own level.  

Importantly, the project has a deep respect for the significance of the iconic Butter Factory buildings and the social capital which has shaped and sustained the Kongwak community over generations. As such, community and environmental benefits have been key drivers in the design process.  

It is hoped that this project represents the beginning of another chapter in the rich history of Kongwak and the iconic Butter Factory can once again become the pride of its community.
