The Yea Wetlands Discovery Centre Inc. has been successful in receiving funding from the Victorian Government’s Regional Tourism Investment Fund to complete the Kayigai Trail Project and has engaged Council to manage and oversee the construction of the Trail.
The Kayigai Trail includes the construction of approximately 200 metres of timber boardwalk, providing pedestrian access to the north and northwestern end of the Wetlands. Four new viewing platforms will also be installed, creating prime locations for nature observation.
The new trail will follow the Yea River, offering visitors closer access to the natural waterway environment. The viewing platforms are positioned in ideal spots for observing birds and wildlife, enhancing visitor experience by offering dedicated observation points in the wetlands.
While impacts to visitors will be minimal, please be aware that during the construction phase, some parts of the wetlands will be fenced off for safety, as machinery will be in use.
To reduce contractor engagement costs and minimise heavy machinery presence in this ecologically sensitive area, construction of the Kayigai Trail has been coordinated to coincide with preliminary flood recovery works. Council acknowledges the joint funding support for flood recovery from the Victorian and Commonwealth Governments under the Commonwealth-State Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangement.
We appreciate your understanding and cooperation while we complete this project, and we look forward to the enriched natural experience this trail will provide.
