Bullock Island in Lakes Entrance upgrade will be turning the eyesore into a high quality precinct
Mr Chester said, "The new bridge, renewed sea walls, walking trails, car parks and associated facilities will make a real difference for locals and visitors. The island is a great spot to enjoy fishing and bird watching and improving amenities makes it an even more attractive location. The works will complement the on-water cafe developed by LEFCOL and eventually turn the eyesore into a high quality precinct for all."
