Campaspe Shire Council welcomed bike enthusiasts of all ages to the event, who showed off their skills on the track.

The space includes two new walking loops and a pump track for bikes.

The pump track has been open to the public since November 2024, following redevelopment works from June.

Also celebrated was the Healthy Loddon Campaspe Walk This Way initiative, with a new walking loop and footpath stickers around Echuca East Recreation Reserve.

The Healthy Loddon Campaspe Walk This Way initiative includes new walking loops and footpath stickers around Echuca East Recreation Reserve.

The project aims to encourage more walking and time spent outdoors, particularly centred around Echuca East Primary School and Shine Bright Kindergarten.

Saturday’s launch event began with a Welcome to Country by Uncle Rick Ronnan, before attendees, including Campaspe Shire Council Mayor Daniel Mackrell and Cr Rob Amos, had a go at the track and walking loop.
