Ahead of the Grand Final long weekend, the East Gippsland Shire has dredged the Bastion Point boat ramp to improve boating access for locals and visitors.
According to Better Boating Victoria (BBV), contractors removed around 1450 cubic meters of sand, which was left to dry then moved up the beach.
“ They’ll be back on the job in mid-December to repeat the process, ensuring offshore boating access from Mallacoota for when Santa arrives ,” said BBV.
This type of maintenance dredging is supported by boating and license fees through the Better Boating Fund.
