Beachfront makeover now complete
PORT Fairy’s refreshed East Beach precinct was officially opened earlier this week.
Moyne Shire mayor Cr Karen Foster and Member for Western Victoria Jacinta Ermacora joined councillors and guests for the ceremony on Wednesday morning.
A family-friendly destination just a short drive from Warrnambool, Port Fairy’s East Beach offers gentle waves and shallow waters that are perfect for families to enjoy.
Delivered just in time for whale-watching season, the precinct upgrades span 4,000 square metres and include new landscaped and lawned spaces to attract more visitors.
New shelters, barbecues, bathrooms, changerooms, water fountains, bike racks, public seating and sun lounges were all part of the more than $1.27 million investment.
The project also supported around 40 local construction jobs.
“The East Beach precinct is a great example of how we can create welcoming, accessible spaces for the whole community,” Ms Ermacora said.
“This revitalised area will be a place for locals and visitors to enjoy everything that makes Port Fairy so special.”
