Planning and design for the construction of an 82 metre mulched, off road trail along the northern side of Gold Memorial Road has been completed and the project is out for tender.

The trail opposite properties at 20 and 24 Gold Memorial Road, will provide improved safety for both pedestrians and horse riders on the bend.

Improvements also include using asphalt instead of concrete for the separator kerb at the edge of the road and constructing the trail of a hard pack mulch material instead of asphalt.

The works have been designed to reduce the overall size of the construction area through the construction of a retaining wall and post and wire fence at the trail edge, to create as little disturbance as possible to the natural environment adjacent to Andersons Creek.

Once the contract has been awarded, Council will inform affected residents about the proposed timing and schedule for construction works to be completed.

Construction is anticipated to take approximately four weeks, subject to weather conditions and every effort will be made to minimise inconvenience to local residents.
