Stage-1 Boardwalk to commence!

After much community anticipation, East Gippsland Shire Council are set to commence works on the Lakes Entrance Foreshore Park and the Krauatungalung Walk Stage-1 boardwalk on 15 April 2024.

These developments are designed to enrich the community’s wellbeing and connectedness and further establish Lakes Entrance as a premier destination for residents and visitors alike.

The Foreshore Park development will feature a destination playground, pathways, and landscaping, catering to people of all ages and abilities. With elements like water-play and nature-play, alongside universally accessible equipment, Foreshore Park aims to promote outdoor activities and foster a healthier lifestyle for residents and visitors alike.

Krauatungalung Walk Stage-1 commenced in 2023 with the installation of an Indigenous Garden representing the five Gunaikurnai clans and a beautiful seat starring Gunaikurnai creators Borun the pelican and Tuk the Musk duck, to enhance the cultural experience for all.

Partnering with the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC) underscores the commitment to engage and listen deeply to Gunaikurnai Traditional Owners. GLaWAC will design and install cultural art pieces, ensuring the project remains deeply rooted in cultural heritage.

The construction of the Stage-1 boardwalk, extending approximately 300metres east of the toilets and past the Aqua Park, will provide all-ability access, cultural information, and a viewing platform looking back toward the township.

These developments are part of Council’s ongoing efforts to enhance Lakes Entrance for both residents, visitors and the broader East Gippsland community and complement the recently completed upgrade of Bullock Island and the Old Slipway.

We do not anticipate any interruptions to businesses or markets during this time.

Access to the beach will remain open.

For safety, visitors to the area are asked to observe construction signage and any directions from the contractor during the works.

The works, funded by all three levels of government, are anticipated to take approximately six (6) months to complete.

We look forward to sharing the progress of these projects with our community through updates on YourSay and facebook – we welcome you to join us on this exciting journey.
