A luxury hunting lodge where tourists are being invited to use powerful weapons to hunt and kill native wildlife, including wombats, has sparked public outrage.

There are growing calls to shut down the rural property in the Murrindindi Shire, two hours north-east of Melbourne, which is owned by wealthy Chinese-born businessman Tom Zhou.

A Chinese website for the lodge translated from Mandarin invites visitors to 'experience a different life in Australia' and promises an 'unforgettable hunt'.

Two day packages starting from $1000 per person, which includes one night's accommodation and 'high-end' business car transfers from Melbourne.

'When we come to Australia, we should experience life that we can't experience in China,' the website reads.

'The first thing that should be felt in Australia is to be a wilderness hunter in the mountains of Australia.'

Even hunting novices are more than welcome to use 'all kinds of hunting weapons, including double-barrelled shotguns, small calibre rifles and large calibre sniper rifles'.

'With professional guidance, you will be a great shooter!' the website states.

'Hares, foxes, wombats, wild ducks, red deer, sambars (deer) … a variety of wild animals to spend a happy holiday with you.'

Victoria Police confirmed it's aware of reports of illegal hunting at a Murrindindi property.

'Police will investigate to determine whether any crimes have been committed,' a spokesperson said.

Daily Mail Australia has contacted Mr Zhou for further comment.

Residents near the lodge have expressed concerns about unlicensed and inexperienced hunters using powerful weapons close to their properties.

'These tourists are coming in as gun-toting John Waynes,' one neighbour told The New Daily.

Others claim their horses and cattle have been 'spooked' by the regular noise of gunfire coming from the site.

Animal Justice Party MP Andy Meddick called on the Victorian government to intervene and shut down the lodge.

'Regional Victoria has a smorgasbord of nature-based tourism activities. Inflicting cruelty onto Australian wildlife should not be one of them,' Mr Meddick said in a statement.

'Not only are animals being severely injured and suffering enormously before being killed, powerful guns being operated by inexperienced tourists poses a huge risk to local community members and their families.

Neighbours have also expressed concern about the owners' plans to expand after a planning application to build a hotel and shooting facility on site were submitted to Murrindindi Shire Council.

The council released a statement on its website on Thursday to say the applicant has since made amendments to the proposal, which no longer includes a shooting facility or helipad.

The amended application is expected to go on public exhibition in the coming months.

'Council will not be making any decisions about the application until the community has had the opportunity to have their say,' council chief executive Craig Lloyd said.

His statement also addressed residents' concerns about ongoing reports of hunting on the property.

'Council has been in discussion with the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) about this for some time and we condemn any illegal shooting of animals,'Mr Lloyd said.

'DELWP and the police are the agencies empowered to investigate and intervene on any allegations of illegal hunting and firearms matters.'
