East Gippsland Shire Council Mayor Cr Tom Crook welcomed completion of the new design and recommencement of works.
“The new design is vital to the project’s overall success, and we acknowledge the delay and appreciate the community’s understanding and support for this re-design work,” Cr Crook said.
Council’s engaged contractor, Carter Marine, has been awarded a varied contract for construction of the seawall, jetties and boardwalk. A tender for construction of the carpark and landscaping will be advertised later this year following the finalisation of the marine based work by Carter Marine.
“We also thank Carter Marine for their patience,” Cr Crook said. “The updated design ensures that the waterfront structures it constructs will be safe, stable, and offer tangible benefits in terms of boating and the local economy for decades to come.”
