More tracks for Winton wetlands

Winton Wetlands will have another $2.94 million spent on building new bike paths and installing interactive ‘‘stations’’ on the Wetlands Indigenous Trail, with employment to be created for local Aboriginal people.

The Victorian Government hopes its grant will lead to a boost in tourism in Benalla by 45000 additional annual visitors within five years.

The trail will include a 12km cycling path with four interactive stations that use sound, light and projection to deliver local stories and information.

The project will also include large-scale iconic artwork, education and training programs and events.

Winton Wetlands chief executive officer Jim Grant was thrilled with the announcement.Read the story by Libby Price in the Benalla Ensign - “More tracks for wetlands.”
