Lakeside Parade at The Entrance is being transformed as the important second stage of the upgrade gets underway.

Some $1.2 million has been set aside for this second and final stage of this project, which involves the upgrading of pavement and drainage from Fairview Avenue to Lentara Walk.

The first stage of the upgrade cost $900,000 and was completed in the previous financial year.

The upgrade includes full drainage and road pavement upgrade, including kerb and channel and driveways.

The works are due to be completed in February 2017 and will help to make the area more accessible to residents and holidaymakers.

The upgrade complements a number of recent street upgrades by Council in the immediate area including Ashton Ave, Campbell Ave, Oakland Ave (part), the southern end of Lakeside Parade and View Street (part).

Upgrade of the nearby Manning Road has also been earmarked for a future project, with a budget of some $1.5 million.
