Sunbury residents will be able to enjoy a new walking trail following the completion of a 2.5 kilometre loop trail at Mount Holden.
The trail was opened on April 18, with almost $1 million in funding from the Growing Suburbs Fund and Hume council.
Sunbury MP Josh Bull was at Mount Holden to celebrate the completion of stage one of the trail redevelopment.
“This is a great result that will not only have a broad range of health and wellbeing outcomes for our local community but offer young families with a space to build strong social connections,” he said.
In addition to the 2.5-kilometre loop trail around Mount Holden, the completed project has delivered seating, fencing and educational signage about the site’s cultural and environmental significance.
Suburbs Minister Sonya Kilkenny said the new investment will support local community connections, helping residents thrive and supporting them to get out in nature.
“I’m delighted to announce the completion of stage one of this exciting project at Mount Holden as we continue to deliver for our fastest-growing communities,” she said.
The state government said the project will provide people with the health and wellbeing benefits of walking in nature and foster a more connected regional community.
