This project would extend the current paved track from Pebble Beach a further 0.9 kilometres making a round trip of 6 kilometres. It opens up beautiful views of the Kiewa River and Mount Bogong, providing easier access to the river for recreational and training activities. The area is surrounded by mountains and is one of the few available areas for a flat track. The track is located very close to the Mount Beauty and Tawonga South townships, making it easily accessible. The Community has been working to achieve this track over 10 years and it has recently been fully scoped.

Market research shows that visitors value access to rivers over most other activities and this track will play a crucial role in supporting the local economy. The even, sealed surface would make the track available to all ability levels, ages and those with disabilities, either supported or going it alone. Both locals and tourists need safe places to exercise or relax which is beneficial for their health and fitness. There are many sites where picnic facilities will be established. Wayfinding and Interpretative signage about the Kiewa Valley will be placed in appropriate locations.

This walk has become more popular with visitors and locals alike since it has been cleared and improvements made. An additional length will add significantly to the walk and provide a valuable tourist feature & exercise path.

This a beautiful location showcasing the extraordinary natural beauty of this unique valley. The Pebble Beach Walk currently provides one of only 2 gentle terrain locations for independent aging or disabled walkers, and the proposal overview has captured the value to residents and visitors perfectly.
