Bicycle Network: Regional Routes

Ballarat City Centre to University

The path between the city centre and the University in Mt Clear is a fantastic link desperately in need of upgrade and completion. This path can help get students to and from town in a sustainable manner and also benefit the wider community of Ballarat.

Ballarat Western Link Road Path

The Ballarat Western Link Road (BWLR) is approximately 16 kilometres long and will link the Western Freeway to the Midland Highway. and will serve new developments in the Ballarat Employment Zone, airport precinct and residential developments in Ballarat West. A shared path is being constructed along the corridor as part of the project.

Ballarat: Outer Saleyards Rail Trail

This abandoned rail corridor runs from the Wendouree Station south around to the old saleyards approaching Sebastapol. It has the potential to link much of Ballarat to Wendouree Lake and the Skipton Rail Trail plus the proposed South West development precinct

Ballarat: Wendouree Rail Trail

A shared trail in the rail reserve from Ballarat to Wendoree would provide a off-road route between these centres.

Bendigo to Latrobe University Path

A project to link the heart of Bendigo with Latrobe University

Bendigo: McIvor Highway underpass at Back Creek

An underpass is required to provide a safe cycle crossing of this busy barrier and connect with shared path routes. This would also allow a safer connection link from the Bendigo Railway Station to the O'Keefe Rail Trail.

Bendigo: Spring Gully shared path

Continue the Spring Gully shared path along Halvin Street (East/West) to the McIvor Highway

Maude St, Shepparton
