Paynesville - Dinni Birraark Walk Trail Extension - Aerial Photo

The improvement of the current condition of the Dinni Birraark Walk in Paynesville was identified by the Paynesville Landcare Coastcare group and adopted in the Paynesville Foreshore Management Plan.

Council is working with the Paynesville Landcare Coastcare Group to improve the walking trail over an approximate length of 400m from Sunset Cove westwards towards Jones Road, as part of the Dinni Birraark Walk. The area has been surveyed and is currently being investigated and assessed.

The aerial image shows the approximate trail location; the exact location will be determined during the detailed designed.

Objective and Scope

The objective of this project is to continue development towards a linking pathway between Paynesville and Newlands Arm as highlighted in the Paynesville Foreshore Management Plan.

  • Improvement of approximately 400m of existing trail.
  • Erosion mitigation where required.

Consultation and Community Engagement

Council is pleased to be supporting this community driven project, identified by the Paynesville Landcare Coastcare Group.

The PRG will provide a representative viewpoint on the design options and will be included in communications of detailed design.

Project updates will be provided in the tab below, and also in Council newsletters and social media, and available at the Paynesville Service Centre.

    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.
