In 2020-21, Indigo Shire Council will spend more than $660,000 building, replacing and maintaining a number of footpaths across the shire.
The table below lists the works that we will undertake over the next year to improve our footpath network.
Construction of a new footpath heading south from Jackman Drive connecting the new estate with the existing footpath at 18 Huon-Kiewa Road including two new pram crossings.
The new path will provide an important link by connecting the new estate paths with the town centre footpath network.
This short but important path connects the existing Indigo Creek Park with Havelock Street and the Barnawartha Sports Ground, providing a safe link from the school.
Replacement of the existing footpath on Kiewa East Road, from the intersection with Huon-Kiewa Road to the primary school.
The increased path width will better provide for wheelchair access and the increasing of the route to the local primary school.
New pedestrian footbridge running parallel with Blanche Street over Sunday Creek including drainage and safety improvements.
These works will provide the Wahgunyah residents safe pedestrian access from the town centre to the Wahgunyah Speedway and Recreation Reserve.
Construction of a new concrete footpath from Sarah Street to Uncle Toby's, providing a safe walking route between the town centre and the regions significant employer.
Construction of a concrete footpath between Camp Street and Junction Road. Concreting sections of this highly used path will better provide for wheelchair access, safer access to the primary school and increasing tourist traffic to the historic precinct.
This length of path is the final link in the important connection between the main route through the town centre (Conness Street) and the historic precinct on Main Street.
Upgrade of footpaths around the Chiltern Senior Citizens to improve accessibility to the building and improved DDA compliant parking spaces.
The retaining wall footing was installed earlier in April and the wall upstand is currently being formed up to be poured on 30 April.
Preparation work for the kerb and pathway is in progress.
The footpath in Blanche Street, Wahgunyah has been completed and looks fantastic. The Wahgunyah community now has safe access to the local Recreation Reserve and Speedway.
