THE Borough of Queenscliffe has completed works to restore access to one of its beaches.<\/p>\n

Large rocks moved by storm activity were obstructing people from using the stairs and ramp at Springs Beach in Point Lonsdale.<\/p>\n

The borough closed the beach late last month and used heavy equipment to relocate the rocks away from the stairs and ramp.<\/p>\n
