Krauatungalung Walk's first stage at Lakes Entrance to open by October, featuring an elevated boardwalk
Darren Chester announced that the first stage of the Krauatungalung Walk at Lakes Entrance is expected to open by October, featuring an elevated boardwalk and accessible foreshore areas.
Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester says locals and visitors are likely to be enjoying the first stage of Krauatungalung Walk near the surf club at Lakes Entrance before the end of October. Local firm Design Co Builders has installed a significant section of elevated boardwalk, along with seating and break-out areas, and is now working on the storage shed for the aquatic facilities.

Mr Chester said, "It's coming together well and will be a hit with people of all ages who want to enjoy an all-ability accessible walk along the foreshore. I'm urging East Gippsland Shire Council to get a move on and finish the design and costs for the remaining sections so we can seek funding from the Growing Regions Program, which is currently open for applications."
"In total, I was able to secure $5.8 million from the previous government for the boardwalks, concrete path replacement and artwork, but due to the long delays, we're going to need more funding to actually finish the circuit next year," Mr Chester said.
