A total of $5.3 million has been set aside to enhance the area alongside Maldon’s heritage features.
The works will be part of the $2.7 billion Building Works package which will help people get back to work.
“We’re getting to work on hundreds of new projects across the state, meaning shovels in the ground – and boots in the mud – within a matter of weeks and months,” Premier Daniel Andrews said.
“From upgrading our roads and rail, to critical maintenance for social housing and new projects for our tourist destinations, this package will create jobs for our local tradies and so many others – and support local businesses all over Victoria.”
Treasurer Tim Pallas added: “We’ve always said Victoria is the engine room of the nation – with this package, we’re cranking the engine and kickstarting our economy.”
The package will create 3,700 new jobs for construction workers, painters, plasterers, gardeners, engineers, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, maintenance workers, administration staff and many others.
Thousands more jobs will be created across our supply chains, including manufacturing, logistics, transportation, warehousing and retail – while also pumping extra dollars back into our economy.
