Pathway works on Barwon River near Queens Park Golf Course

Geelong Council will start works along the Barwon River pedestrian and cycling path near the Queens Park Golf Course at the beginning of next week.

The works involved moving two sections of the path away from the river embankment to ensure future path stability is’t compromised due to erosion.

The works will also enable bank stabilisation and re-vegetation works to be undertaken including the removal of any non-native trees and replanting of local indigenous species.

Disruption to users of the path will be minimised with bypass routes in place during the works.

Pedestrians and cyclists are urged to take care when using alternative routes and to adhere to signage displayed at both ends of the works.

Works to the path will start on Monday 23 February and are expected to take about a month to complete.
