The Lake Purrumbete Foreshore Committee of Management received $120,000 to design a replacement ramp at the popular fishing lake.
Moyne Shire Council received $50,000 to design a jetty replacement at the Curdievale boat ramp.
Minister for Outdoor Recreation Sonya Kilkenny announced a $2.75 million investment across the projects designed to improve facilities as well as undertaking dredging to facilitate greater access during lower tides and water levels.
The grants were awarded through the Victorian government’s Recreational Boating Structural Maintenance and Dredging and Access Grants programs and funded via the reinvestment of boaters’ recreational licence and registration fees.
“This is a great example of how reinvesting licence and registration fees is improving the experience for boaters and making getting out on the water easier and more accessible,” Ms Kilkenny said.
“With projects right across Victoria covering a range of improvements, we’re building bigger and better facilities for everyone in the community to enjoy.”
