Project Update - 4 August 2023
The Lookout Road site known as Rotary Park at Jemmy’s Point in Lakes Entrance is a grassed park area with some existing infrastructure and is part of our Jemmy’s Point Lookout Stage 2 project.
While a large scale and iconic platform will not be pursued at this time, Council is proceeding with improvements to the Rotary Park site, in line with the feedback received as part of previous community engagement.
Council contractors have commenced construction of the new all-ability toilets and baby change facilities, and barbeques. Installation of street furniture and all-ability picnic tables will soon follow. Landscaping treatments will focus on making the area more usable and enjoyable and we will also improve the parking and turnaround road.
Other works across the project will include signage and interpretive facilities to provide a more comprehensive and informative experience for visitors. Signage will be installed on Princes Highway from the eastern and western approaches.

The new recreation facilities, loop walking trail and viewing platform in Lakes Entrance has provided several benefits to the community.
