Upgrade works to the Slipway site on the Lakes Entrance Esplanade have been a long-time coming but are now well underway.
The installation of the tiered deck over the existing concrete slipway to create a waterfront public space is taking shape while new roofing has been installed to the historic winch sheds which are undergoing minor renovations.
Other parts of the redevelopment works include: Construction of public access amenities including compliant ramps; Re-surfacing of the existing bitumen hardstand area; and upgrade of onsite power.
The concept for this redevelopment was included in and approved through, an Expression of Interest (EOI) process advertised nationally in 2018 by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). The successful proponents of the EOI were “The Slipway Collective” – a working group of local arts and business representatives. The design of the redevelopment is in-keeping with the Slipway Collective’s activation proposal for the site.
