Consultation has concluded.

The Lakes Entrance community came together on Saturday 1 February as a 70-strong crowd of locals, business owners and project contributors - including artists and developers - celebrated the official opening of three major foreshore projects: Krauatungalung Walk Stage 1, Lakes Foreshore Park and Lakes Entrance Water Sports Pavilion.

With a total investment of more than $3.5 million, these initiatives are designed to enhance the town's appeal for tourists while also enriching community spaces. 

The projects have been delivered in partnership with the Australian Government; the Victorian Government (Lakes Entrance Foreshore Park funding from its 2020-2021 Local Sports Infrastructure Fund); the Gunaikurnai Land and Waters Aboriginal Corporation (GLaWAC); and local contractors.  

These additions to the Lakes Entrance foreshore provide long-term benefits, foster greater inclusivity, accessibility, and tourism opportunities, providing an economic boost for the town and region.
