Ocean Grove Rotary Club is pushing for the construction of a boarded walkway next to the Barwon River.
The club said it is committed to the protection of the Ramsar wetland and mangrove wildlife habitats of Lake Connewarre Wildlife Reserve and that the walkway would “provide access to the white mangroves for an intimate experience with nature”. The club wants the walkway to be about 100 metres north of the Wallington Road and Thacker Street intersection.
