    Hi Klarn, thank you for taking the time to express your delight in the project being undertaken and to ask us a question. This project encompasses the 400m gravel trail extension to the existing pathway from Sunset Cove westwards towards Jones Road. Further works to create a linking pathway between Paynesville and Newlands Arm is subject to future funding availability and the success of future funding applications. 

    Construction of this project has not yet been programmed; however, site investigations have commenced, and we are currently investigating which approvals and permits are required. A project timeline has been provided on YourSay so that interested community members can follow along as we progress through all the different requirements encompassed in this project; while the extension of the Dinni Birraark Walking Trail is a valuable project for our community, it is important to recognise that it involves various complexities and considerations that contribute to the overall timeline for completion. Warm regards, Sally

  • Share Council has very limited funding for paths, and I would rather see funding go towards a link between Paynesville & Bairnsdale. There is no path along the road & since the installation of Armco railings on the length of Forge Creek Rd, there is no safe route for riders or walkers between the towns. Another missing safe path is from Fort King bridge to the eastern end of Fort King Rd. The foreshore walking track is accessible from Backwater Crt through to the town boundary on the west now, and whilst it would be good to improve this section, there is more important paths to provide for walkers/riders in Paynesville. on Facebook Share Council has very limited funding for paths, and I would rather see funding go towards a link between Paynesville & Bairnsdale.

  • Share Yes this path is used widely by the community. Wonderful trail with wildlife and wonderful views of the lake, if done properly will be a asset to the community and tourists. The only HUGE downside to this is it is NOT linked to the main part of town, therefore alot of people visiting the area don’t walk from the Main St foreshore path to it. Walking along the road from town to sunset cove is definitely not ideal, and walking on the grass beside road is covered in tree roots and potholes, really disappointing considering the lovely roadside track metung has. This needs to be prioritised. on Facebook Share Yes this path is used widely by the community.
