As a $6.5 million major revamp of the Mallacoota area, East Gippsland Shire Council Upgraded the Bastion point boat ramp and associated infrastructure to include:

• A 60 spaces, car and trailer car park with public toilet block.

• Construction of an elevate causeway between the end of Bastion Point rd and the newly constructed boat ramp, the eastern side of the causeway was retained by using a combination of geo-bags and rock armour.

• The proposed boat ramp has a 60m long timber jetty for berthing of vessels.

• Protecting the boat ramp from the south is a 150m long break wall.

Despite bad weather and opposition from a small minority group that attempted to disrupt operations the project was completed on time and within budget.
