With high rainfall events occurring in 2023, one consequence of the Campaspe River’s high flows and flooding was damage to the O’Keefe Rail Trail at Axedale.

While temporary works enabled the trail to reopen to the public after river levels lowered, elsewhere within the City of Greater Bendigo area, there were higher priorities.

Now, the Council Works unit’s contractor Monigatti Cartage has just completed reinstating the rail trail’s surface and drainage for the approaches to the Campaspe River bridge.

The quality of these works will provide a much safer experience for trail users, as well as improving stormwater drainage for the coming winter season.
