When work is completed on the Lake Terrace section of the Great Lake Pathway, residents will also find it easier to get down to the lake.
Local Verna Cook-Jackson regularly walks or jogs along Lake Terrace and got in touch with the Great Lake Pathway project team to let them know she thought there should be improved access down to lake at some point.
“I often see senior members of the community that live close to Lake Terrace area. They are keen to have an area to access the lake edge that is easier to navigate than the current steep embankment,” she said.
“We are delighted the team have accommodated our request. It will be fantastic to use the new pathway and get to the water’s edge safely.”
Landscape architect Fraser Scott said plans were already in place to make the lakeside safer by reducing a steep escarpment and incorporate access tracks just south of the gum trees.
“We’ve managed to incorporate two access points to make is easier for people to get down to the water,” he said.
“It will include a gentle grass slope that fits in with the surrounding landscape.”
