Multi-Million Dollar Boost for Kosciuszko!
Posted on 17 Apr, 2018
Today, some awesome news was released in regards to $27 million in funding from the NSW Government that will be spent developing walking and mountain biking trails in the region! This includes the finishing of the Thredbo Valley Track to Jindabyne (awesome!) and a great new section from Dead Horse Gap to Thredbo.
Deputy Premier, Minister for Regional NSW and Member for Monaro John Barilaro stated “the development of these hiking and biking trails will ensure the region is vibrant and busy all year-round”.
“The natural beauty of the Kosciuszko National Park is something so many Australians have already had the pleasure to enjoy, but we hope this project encourages even more people to make the most of what the wider Snowy Region has to offer.”
“The Park and these trails will have something for everyone to enjoy – whether it be taking in the mountain peaks, biking along the scenic Thredbo River, or enjoying the hospitality of the area’s world-class accommodation and dining facilities”.
“A further $9.8 million will see the popular Thredbo Valley Track extended by 21 kilometres, and it will be constructed using International Mountain Bike Association Guidelines.”
Work on the Thredbo Valley Track project is expected to commence by October 2018 with work on the Snowies Iconic Walk expected to commence in early 2019.
