Goulburn Mulwaree Council
New walking trails will be ready to explore in just a few weeks, with work underway on the river walkway link from Lower Sterne Street in Eastgrove through to Cemetery Street.
This new part of the network is fully funded by Goulburn Mulwaree Council, and will be 1.5km length when completed by the end of June this year. Running along the Mulwaree River, it has been anecdotally named the Mulwaree River Walkway.
“This area of Goulburn is just another gem waiting to be discovered, and I think many residents will be pleasantly surprised when the project is complete” said Mayor Bob Kirk.
The upper house passed a motion ordering the government to show how it chose bushfire-affected regions in mainly Coalition-held seats to receive $177 million in funding.

A New South Wales council has hit back at criticism a project in its local government area is not worthy of bushfire recovery funds.
Key points:
Funding for the new Skydiving Adventure Park in Kempsey was announced in October
A nearby operator says it is a waste of money and does nothing to help bushfire victims
Kempsey Shire Council says the multi-purpose facility meets the criteria for recovery funds
The Macleay Valley Skydiving Adventure Park, at the Kempsey Regional Airport, has received more than $11 million thanks to the governments Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund.
NSW is about to consider applications for a new $250m round of the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Fund.
“It is also not accurate to suggest that any LGA has missed out on funding from the Bushfire Local Economic Recovery Package, because the fund has not been fully allocated yet,” the NSW spokesperson said.
“Applications only closed on 28 January and are currently being assessed. Areas that have not yet received funding will be prioritised in the next round.”
The spokesperson said the NSW and federal governments “continue to work closely together to support communities on their recovery journey post the 19/20 bushfires”.
