A 5km trail along the former Cardinia Aqueduct is now open to the
public. A multi purpose pathway for walkers, cyclists and horse
riders, it follows the route of the former Bunyip Main Race from
Thewlis Road to Dickie Road in Officer.
Melbourne Water transferred ownership of the Thewlis to Dickie
Road section to Cardinia Shire Council in 2005, at no cost, for
development of the multi purpose trail and to conserve the heritage
values of the aqueduct.
Council established a Steering Committee of interested local
residents and employed EDAW Gillespie Consulting to advise and work
with the Committee and Council on its development.
Mayor of Cardinia Shire, Cr Bill Pearson officially opened the
trail on Wednesday after six years planning and negotiations.
He said the new trail represents a $250,000 investment for the
community and adds to the recreation and leisure opportunities for
residents of Cardinia Shire.
“A carpark for 22 vehicles and horse floats has been constructed
at Thewlis Road as well as the switchback through the nearby valley
area,” he added.
“There is more work to be done and in coming years, the project
team will explore options to extend the trail to Toomuc Creek in
the east and Cardinia Creek to the west.”
“The trail meanders through an attractive, peaceful environment
that residents and people from beyond the municipality will enjoy
for generations,” he said.
