New wayfinding signs for mountain bike trail
Making the most of Warrnambool’s mountain bike trail has been made easier thanks to new directional signs.
A total of 60 signs have been installed at the Thunder Point mountain bike trail, directing people along three different loops.
Council provided $15,000 for the project via the Small Infrastructure Fund, with Warrnambool Mountain Bike Club volunteers installing the signs over a series of working bees along 7km of trail.

Club Treasurer Graeme Wines said that the new signs made riding the trail easier for everyone, especially new riders.
Equivalent of 300,000 glass bottles used in works

The equivalent of 300,000 glass bottles have been used in the Warrnambool City Council’s latest road works, which formed part of the Council’s Annual Road Rehabilitation program.
60 tonnes of recyced glass was used as aggregate, while additionally, the asphalt layer of the road surfaces worked on was salvaged to be re-used by Council on future roads and footpath projects.
Warrnambool City Council Director City Infrastructure David Leahy said that glass was a valuable resource with multiple uses in construction projects.
