The Reserve was given to the Healesville Council in 1927. It became the Sir Colin MacKenzie Sanctuary in 1934. By 1947 the sanctuary had grown into a major tourist attraction and the management was taken over by the Victorian government. Since then the zoo has grown with new special features and facilites including the $6 million Australian Wildlife Health Centre in 2005.
