The $1.3 million redevelopment of the Old Slipway in Lakes Entrance is nearing completion with Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester taking a ‘sneak peak’ at the much anticipated works.
Mr Chester (pictured) secured $962,000 from the previous Federal Government for the project which has also attracted funds from local and state governments.
“This project has been talked about ever since the slipway was moved to Bullock Island and it’s fantastic to see the disused site being prepared for locals and visitors to enjoy this summer,” Mr Chester said.
“The ongoing transformation of the Lakes Entrance foreshore is making our town an even better place to live and visit which is great for the economy, and encourages people to enjoy a healthy, active lifestyle.”
The old slipway activation project is being delivered by East Gippsland Shire Council.
