Central Goldfields Shire Maryborough Ward Councillor and Walking and Cycling Advisory Group Chairperson Grace La Vella said any resident with expertise and passion in walking or cycling is encouraged to submit an Expression of Interest.

“Our Shire has many residents who are keen walkers and cyclists and I really encourage them to put their hand up to be part of this new and exciting Walking and Cycling Advisory Group. Ideally, we are looking for a mix of ages, gender identities, abilities, knowledge and experiences.

“Our Shire is renowned for its various walking and cycling tracks, this is our opportunity to improve on the existing network and develop the Walking and Cycling tracks to be more user friendly and accessible to locals and visitors alike.”
