Final touches to come at East Beach
STAGE two redevelopment works at Port Fairy’s East Beach are nearing completion.
The East Beach area is a popular destination for local residents and visitors, particularly given its proximity to the nearby Gardens Caravan Park.
Visitors to the area would have noticed the recent completion of the toilet block, and adjacent vegetation, with some final touches to soon be added.
“Moyne Shire will soon complete the final touches to the current stage one works at East Beach Port Fairy,” mayor Cr Karen Foster said.
“This will include the installation of an additional double sun lounger, road and parking line marking, and landscaping.
“We anticipate these works will be completed by the end of this month, with an official opening planned for June.”
According to Cr Foster, council has contributed $675,000 to the project along with an additional $1.27 million from the state government for these stage one works.
The new East Beach precinct will only serve to improve the popularity of Port Fairy and in particular the East Beach area.
This will be most apparent in the summer months but visitation is expected all year round, especially with whales now being spotted directly off East Beach during the winter months.
From an environmental perspective, the landscaping of the area will consider sustainable products and utilise natural timbers and stone.
The amenities will be fit with water saving devices and grasses will be low maintenance and drought resistant.
