The 70 kilometre rail trail will cost an additional $31.5 million, making the cost of this rail trail around $51.2 million, plus annual maintenance of around $2.048 million.
Following completion of the Campaspe Shire section of the Waranga Rail Trail in late March, the entire trail was officially opened on 17 May in Rushworth.
The project offers a great active transport choice for locals and visitors, passing through old railway tunnels and over bridges, amongst wildlife habitats and linking to Hunter Wetlands Centre.
