Lake View Road, Kangaroo Lake re-opened

Published on 09 December 2019

Kangaroo Lake users are benefiting from improvements to Lake View Road as Stage 1 of the Kangaroo Lake Foreshore Redevelopment continues.

The road, which provides vehicle access to the lake’s northern boat ramp, was closed for seven weeks to enable the construction of extra vehicle, boat and trailer parking spaces.

The works also involved the upgrading of the intersection of Mystic Park and Lake View Roads, with larger vehicles and trailers now able to access the area.

“The northern section of Kangaroo Lake is a popular place for residents and tourists to stay cool during summer,” Mayor Lorraine Learmonth said.

“These works will enable more people to visit the area, creating a safer area for boat users, motorists and pedestrians.”

Works will continue throughout the vicinity, with the installation of a new barbecue shelter and walking track bollards scheduled for completion before Christmas, with the planting of extra native trees yet to be completed.

“Once completed, the rejuvenation of this area will further enhance this location as a tourist attraction for the Gannawarra,” Mayor Learmonth said.

Stage 1 of the Kangaroo Lake Foreshore Redevelopment was identified in the Waterfront Masterplan for the Kerang Lakes, which was approved by Council earlier this year.

The Kangaroo Lake Foreshore Redevelopment is supported by the Federal Government’s Regional Growth Fund.
