Project background
The Twelve Apostles Trail Stage 1 is a walking and cycling trail linking Corangamite's hinterland with the coastal township of Port Campbell and the Great Ocean Road. It provides alternative access to key attractions, promoting active transport over driving and relieving traffic and car park pressures.
The installation of recycled plastic products along this 20 km trail links to the Camperdown - Timboon Rail Trail, which also uses recycled materials - providing a consistent approach in the region.
The Twelve Apostles Trail is an opportunity for Corangamite Shire Council to demonstrate the value of recycled products to an anticipated 30,000 locals and visitors using the trail annually. The recycled materials also provide great value in terms of durability, cost and maintenance when compared to traditional timber equivalents.
The Twelve Apostles Trail project was a COVID-19 stimulus project and was focused on engaging local contractors. It was supported by Sustainability Victoria's Sustainable Infrastructure Fund.
