An all-abilities pontoon will be installed at Blue Rock Lake in Willow Grove to enable people of all mobility levels to enjoy boating and fishing.
The works have begun at the Old Tanjil Rd boat ramp and are expected to be completed in late August.
With the site now closed, visitors can still utilise the lake's other boat ramp at Spillway Rd which remains open.

Aimed at making a day on the water more accessible, the new 37-metre long floating pontoon will be installed on the south side of the Old Tanjil Rd boat ramp. It is designed to rise and fall as the water level changes.
An 18-metre long accessible gangway will connect the pontoon to the shoreline. It will feature a non-slip surface, handrails, enough width for wheelchairs and other mobility aids, as well as a gradient indicator to show how steep the ramp is and whether assistance in accessing the structure is recommended.
Provisions for a hoist also are included, meaning a Hansa C-Crane can be installed to help boaters in wheelchairs board vessels.
In addition, the new pontoon will see installation of three new structural support piles and a lower landing launching deck.
Member for Eastern Victoria Harriet Shing said the pontoon's installation was funded by recreational boaters' license and registration fees through the Victorian Government's Better Boating Fund.
"It's been a labour of love to advocate for better facilities at at Blue Rock Lake and the upgraded boat ramp is a huge win - not only for recreational and competition fishing but also for better accessibility and as another great addition to one of our best waterways," Ms Shing said.
"Blue Rock is one of Gippsland's most loved boating and fishing destinations and the upgrade of the Old Tanjil Road ramp will make it easier to try for a hard-fighting bass, tow a donut, or just enjoy being on the water," she added.
Ms Shing said Blue Rock Lake was revered for its Australian bass fishing which was fast becoming some of the best in the country thanks to the state government's record-breaking fish stocking program.
The Victorian Fisheries Authority will work with Southern Rural Water to oversee the pontoon installation. Bridgewater Marine are the contractors who will deliver the project.
The Better Boating Fund reinvests annual collection of recreational marine licence and registration fees back into boating projects and programs. It ensures launching and parking remains free at all Victorian public ramps.
Since 2021, close to $140 million has been returned to recreational boating. Utilising the fund, works to the Lang Lang boat ramp on the shores of Westermport are also currently underway.
