The Lake Jindabyne Shared Trail project has taken another significant step forward, with Council currently accepting tender bids for upgrade and widening works on two key sections of the trail.

The tender was advertised and contractors have met with Council project staff to walk the Copper Tom Trail between Cobbon Crescent and the Jindabyne Dam wall, as well as from Hatchery Bay to Gaden Road.

The tender process, which opened on Thursday 25 July 2024, marks an important milestone in the delivery of this ambitious project. Interested parties have until 4pm on Thursday 29 August 2024 to submit their proposals.

Once complete, the extended and expanded Lake Jindabyne Shared Trail will be a fantastic asset for our community and visitors alike, offering even greater opportunity for residents and visitors to enjoy our unrivalled alpine environment through a unique and comprehensive offering of recreational experiences.

The project, funded by a NSW Government grant, aims to create an interconnected trail network around the southern half of Lake Jindabyne. As work progresses, existing trails will be linked together and new sections of trail will be built and integrated into the growing network.

Through the completion of the Lake Jindabyne Shared Trail, Council and the NSW Government aim to boost the local economy, promote active lifestyles, and complement other work across the region to cement the Snowy Monaro's reputation as one of Australia's leading outdoor destinations.
