City of Ballarat to expand connections for those ditching the car

Ballarat council has released plans to better connect the city through a series of trails.

New linkages will be created between existing trails particularly in Delacombe and Redan.

Expect to see a trail from Victoria Park to Morshead Park, along Sutton Street, a connection to Doug Dean Reserve via Whitelaw Avenue and a loop trail around Morshead Park along Rubicon Street, Pleasant Street and Bell Street.

The first project will be the link between Victoria Park, to Morshead Park and Doug Dean Reserve expected to begin construction in the middle of the year.

Stage two will be the path from Whitelaw Avenue to Doug Dean Reserve and the third stage will be the gravel loop trail around Morshead Park.
