Federal Member for Gippsland Darren Chester says the rock wall which forms part of the Kalimna loop walk at Lakes Entrance will be closed from May 1 to allow for a major upgrade. The rock wall which was built more than 35 years ago has some significant drainage, erosion and undermining issues that make it difficult to maintain a good surface.

The popular walk provides lovely views across the Gippsland Lakes to Rigby Island and walkers can often spot dolphins or seals in the area. It's part of a larger project managed by East Gippsland Shire Council that received $2.25 million from the previous federal government for the:

• Hotel Road lookout
• Rotary Park redevelopment
• Linking pathways program

East Gippsland civil construction firm Cal Civil will undertake the rock wall works over the next two months.
