Project Update - 24 October 2023
Council's contractors, Cranes Civil & Surfacing have commenced construction of the new viewing platform at Jemmys Point.
The viewing platform will provide spectacular panoramic views of the Gippsland Lakes, the Entrance, Bass Strait and 90 Mile Beach. The besser block retaining walls of the circular platform have been constructed and are being filled with concrete. The surface of the platform will be poured in the coming weeks. Concrete pathway connections are being prepared and will provide all-ability access to the new viewing platform. Recycled cast aluminum and hardwood timber picnic settings will be installed once the concreting has been completed.
The existing Gippsland Ports tower will remain in place. Our contractors will also be completing road refurbishments with kerb and channel.
Cranes have commenced construction works on three of the new crushed rock walking trails; the Jetty access trail in Kalimna, the Jemmys Point Reserve to Point Road trail, and the Jetty walk link trail. This work involves the completion of technical design for timber steps and platforms along the pathways.
Visitors to the area are asked to observe the construction signage and any directions from the contractor, including following traffic management direction on Jetty Road Kalimna during the works.
