New park

Thank you sir. But this is, if you buy house or if you pay to build a house? If this is a market price for a ready house, then construction price should be less than this?

@MRJ has detailed construction costs for building a house.

The median house price for Melbourne CBD is 956k. Regional Victoria (excluding the CBD) is 600k.

Bearing in mind land large enough to situate a zoo would be needed for this project, with construction costs of admin buildings, toilets, exhibits etc. on top of this, then it’s my opinion this can’t be done on a budget of $1 million.

Even if it were theoretically possible, there would be no funds left over for construction of exhibits and costs of running the zoo, which annually would be in the hundreds of thousands - and would be impossible to recoup from visitation alone.

It can be possible, starting with the minimum essential buildings and few species of animals, but then more money will need to be injected in, both for running costs, and eventually for enlargement. I plan to start even with less, with around 120,000 euro first stage, but keep in mind that is roughly equivalent of around 300,000 euro (half million Australian dollars) if that was in Australia, since construction costs here are from 450 to 550 euro/m2, or 750-920 AUD/m2. But then I will inject more funds, if everything according to plan.

But while construction or price of land is around 3 times less than in rich countries, prices for international transportation of animals and cost of animal themselves, are same on international level, so that,
 
“As the park grows”.

Why would it grow? Again, there is already an established small wildlife park in this region, which has recently gained the organisational and financial heft of being government-owned.

What is this new park going to do differently to draw people to it, and not Kyabram?
The small park you refer to is part of Melbourne zoo now and will become very oriented onto a few species as part of their program
