They are going to "access and improved and additional visitor facilities"...
Visitors Facilities? - What a Visitors Center with caps, badges, pins, and cheap chinese made Koalas?
Access? -> What a 4 lane freeway? Whats wrong with the 3 tracks into it now?
Craig's Hut redevelopment
Craig's Hut is a
well-known and popular destination for locals and tourists alike and an icon of the Victorian high country. It is so popular with estimates of some 80,000 people visiting the site each year.
The main focus for the redevelopment of the site will include an upgrade of the
parking area, rehabilitation of degraded sites, improved signage and access and improved and additional visitor facilities.
Work will be done in stages with approximately $150,000 to be spent this year. Improvements to be completed by the end of March include erecting a new
information shelter, four picnic tables, two new viewing areas, seating inside
the hut and a stabilised crushed
granite path leading from the car park to
the hut and its surrounds. Provided more funding is secured next year, a disabled access ramp, major improvements to the car park and repairs to the surrounding wooded fence are planned.
DSE asks visitors to
Craig's Hut to be aware of the possibility of heavy machinery on the Circuit Road and the access track to
the hut. There will be contractors and equipment working around
the hut site until the end of March.
