$50 million for Princes Highway East

Submit your FEEDBACK to Vic Roads online HERE.

The Federal and State Governments have announced a major upgrade of the Princes Highway from Sale to the NSW border. Funding of $50 million has been allocated for ‘betterment’ or improvement works, not maintenance, on this important freight and tourism route. These works will be planned and coordinated by VicRoads. VicRoads is looking to identify improvement works that contribute to route safety, accessibility and reliability for all modes of transport, along with neighbourhood amenity and economic activity.

Recognising that the Princes Highway runs right through Lakes Entrance, VicRoads is seeking feedback from the community to identify issues of concern along this route. Input from the community will be used to compile a list of proposed works to be considered under the upgrade program.

A community feedback session is therefore scheduled for Lakes Entrance on 19 April at the Mechanics Hall, 18 Mechanics Street, from 2pm – 8pm. There will be presentations at 2.30pm, 4.30pm and 7pm. Light refreshments will be provided after each presentation. You are encouraged to come along and contribute your ideas. This consultation will also be used to finesse some of the ideas that came out of the Lakes Entrance Masterplan project including the dual use path and the Lakes Square.

If you can’t make the session on the 19 April, VicRoads will also be at the East Gippsland Field Days on the 28 and 29 April and a second round of community consultation is planned for mid-late 2017.
