Creekside pathways proposed

Colac Otway Shire Council’s draft Colac 2050 Growth Plan includes a proposal for paths along Deans and Barongarook creeks, providing access between the city and Lake Colac. Pictured are Colac Otway Shire mayor Joe McCracken and development and community services general manager Gareth Smith.

Two pathways linking Colac’s lake and creeks are among initiatives in Colac Otway Shire Council’s draft Colac 2050 Growth Plan coming out next month.

  1. While I love the idea, the cost V’s benefits of the Deans Creek path bothers me.
    They would have to raise the height of the path as it’s rather flood prone and there would need to be a bridge built at the Highway. Whether the State Government/VicRoad would foot the full or any cost of such as part of future Highway upgrages is very debatable.

    But in the meantime, maybe Colac Otway Shire can organise some footpath from Cants Rd to South West PS and get a pedestrian crossing installed on the railway sooner rather than later.
