Parliamentary Secretary for the Hunter Scot MacDonald and Mayor of Lake Macquarie Kay Fraser have today opened the recently revamped boating ramp at the Toronto Lions park.
The upgrades include a new concrete ramp installation of rock revetments, a foreshore stabilisation and improvements to boat ramp manoeuvring area.
The State Government and the Lake Macquarie City Council worked together in order to upgrade the very popular boating ramp with a four hundred and thirty-five thousand dollar rehabilitation program,
just in time for summer.
Kay Fraser says the community will thoroughly enjoy these new upgrades, especially leading into summer.
"Because its such a popular area over there at the Toronto Lions Park, many many boaters use that area, got a lot of facilities there, amenities block. So it'll be great for families who launch their boats there, they'll be able to launch two, easy to get in and out of, much safer, and has a new look and a new feel so very exciting for the people over there".
Meanwhile, Scot MacDonald also explains how wonderful it is to have the state government and council work together on this project.
"Really pleased to work with the Lake Macquarie on these. The NSW Government has put in nearly nine hundred thousand dollars. They've put in some very good submissions a bit over a year ago, and they identified what needed upgrading around the council and I think they've put a really good project together.
"They tell me there this morning that they've already applying for more funding through Boating Now and the NSW Liberal Government".
