Further updates will be provided on YourSay following the Council Election on 26 October 2024, and the questions/feedback tab will be reinstated.

From 12.00 noon Tuesday 17 September until 6.00 pm on Saturday 26 October (Election Day) we will be in the Local Government Election Period (also known as Caretaker Period).

During this time, we will limit our printed communications, website content, social media activity, and community consultations. The ability for people to comment on our social media content will also be disabled during the Election Period.

Each of these steps is to ensure our content does not affect voting in the election and is consistent with steps taken by other Victorian Councils and the Local Government Act 2020.

These changes are only temporary; we'll be back to normal communication activity after the election.

The ramps are nearing completion.

Yellow toe board has been put on back order and will be installed shortly.

Council contractors will be installing a new Disability Discrimination Act 1992 (DDA) compliant gangway and pontoon at the Apex Park Boat Ramp on North Arm in Lakes Entrance from 12 February 2024.

The new all-accessible gangway and pontoon will provide improved facilities for everyone to enjoy waterfront activities, promoting inclusivity, fostering community engagement, and potentially boosting local tourism.

The installation is anticipated to take approximately one week, weather permitting. Access to the water will remain available, as only one boat lane will be closed at a time during the works.

Users of the popular boat ramp are asked to observe the construction signage and any directions from the contractor, including following traffic management direction in the precinct during the works.

The survey closing date has been extended to midnight on 31 December 2024.

We want the concept design to reflect the interests of the community. This includes our residents, businesses, visitors, workforce, rightsholders and other stakeholders. To help us make informed decisions, it's important to understand what the community likes about the concept plan, and where there might be concerns or challenges.

Whether you’re a resident, visitor, or regular user of this area, we want to hear from you!

This survey includes general questions about the participant (i.e. location and age bracket) to give an indication of the audience reached. The personal information provided will only be used for the purpose for which it was intended and will not be disclosed to other people or organisations without your prior written consent, or where it is required by law.

Survey results will be used to shape any changes to the concept design before going to detail design.

The survey closing date has been extended to 30 November 2023.

The survey questions are designed to establish a clearer vision and develop a framework brief to further inform the ongoing design process. Your feedback is important and will be considered as we progress with this project.

Thank you to all of the people who have already taken the time to share their thoughts with us - your input is valuable, and we are pleased you are on this journey with us.

The project supervisor will be advised of all responses as they are submitted and will look closely at what has been said.
