Nyerimilang Park Lookout needs wooden boardwalk fixed by Parks Victoria before mid-year school holidays says Tim Bull
The wooden boardwalk leading to a popular lookout at Nyerimilang Heritage Park has been damaged since December, blocking access.
A wooden boardwalk providing access to one of East Gippsland's best views has not been repaired since being damaged in December, blocking access to the popular tourist attraction. Gippsland East Nationals MP, Tim Bull, said Nyerimilang Heritage Park, between Metung and Lakes Entrance, attracts around 90 visitors a day on average, many more in holiday periods. "Damage to a wooden boardwalk along the track leading to the popular lookout was reported to Parks Victoria by volunteers prior to Christmas 2022," Mr Bull said.
Tim Bull, is calling on Parks Victoria to provide necessary funding to fix the damaged Gippsland Lakes Lookout near Nyerimilang Heritage Park, which has been closed since before Christmas 2022
Prompt boardwalk fix
Mr Bulladded, "They were quick to remove access but have not been so quick in getting it repaired, which is no real surprise due to the fact much of the bushfire damaged infrastructure in the region is still not fixed. I don't blame Parks workers locally, who are a good bunch, but they are suffering from the bureaucratic dithering and lack of support from the Minister for Environment to get the work done."
"This boardwalk should be a relatively easy fix and it is disappointing to have tourists turn up not be able to get to this popular lookout. I took the opportunity to ask the Minister in Parliament last week, to ensure reinstatement works are completed prior to the mid-year school holidays," he said.
