City of Ballarat is in the early stages of planning improvements to the walking and cycling trails in Ballarat East. Improvements to the trail network are one of the actions arising from the Ballarat East Local Area Plan. You can help with our planning by reviewing and providing feedback on the proposals.

When complete, these projects will provide walking and cycling options that allow safe, accessible and enjoyable travel from the Yarrowee River Trail in Brown Hill to Sovereign Hill in Golden Point, or from Sturt Street in the CBD to Woowookarung Regional Park in the Canadian and a continuation of the Warrenheip Gully Trail.

Key aims of the project are to:

• Provide safe and accessible walking and cycling trails. This includes safe crossing treatments at all roads.
• Provide increased shade through tree plantings
• Provide environmental outcomes by increasing biodiversity with tree underplanting
• Provide extra amenities for trail users by providing rest areas
