creswick trails project
April 5th, 2017 was a significant day for the Creswick Trails project when the Victorian Government announced a $2.54m funding grant for a 100km+ trail project in and around the township of Creswick.
This was a culmination of nearly a decade of hard work by various local residents, cycling enthusiasts and business owners who recognised the unique potential our little town has.
Hepburn Shire have allocated close to an additional $1.5m making the trail project a $4m investment in local tourism.
On September 15th, 2020 the Hepburn Shire Council unanimously adopted the Hammon Park Trailhead Masterplan. Anticipated to cost around $2m to complete, this partially funded project will cater for everyone from the very beginner to the elite professional.
At 10am on Friday, August 2nd, 2024, the first 32km of the trail was opened. The remaining 30km remains under construction and will be opened in December.
There are some exciting times ahead for our town. Around $6m either has, or will be invested in creating a significant tourism drawcard and the flow-on benefits to the local community will be significant.
