Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester (pictured) says the rock wall which forms part of the Kalimna loop walk at Lakes Entrance will be closed from May 1 to allow for a major upgrade.
The rock wall which was built more than 35 years ago has some significant drainage, erosion and undermining issues that make it difficult to maintain a good surface. The popular walk provides lovely views across the Gippsland Lakes to Rigby Island and walkers can often spot dolphins or seals in the area.
It’s part of a larger project that received $2.25 million from the previous Federal Government for the Hotel Road lookout, Rotary Park redevelopment and linking pathways program, managed by East Gippsland Shire Council.
East Gippsland civil construction firm Cal Civil will undertake the rock wall works over the next two months.
