Tatura 10km Walking/Cycling Loop
The Final Stage of the Tatura 10km Walking / Cycling Loop includes the construction of a 2.5m wide x 1.4km long stone dust path along O’Reilly Road, commencing near the intersection of Martin St and O’Reilly Road and extending through to Dhurringile Road.
This section of path has been identified in the Tatura Community Plan and will complete the Tatura 10km Walking / Cycling Loop, providing 10km of path for outdoor activities for community members and visitors to the region to utilise.
Stage 2 works along O’Reilly Road connect to the previously constructed path adjacent to Tatura Racecourse and Recreation Reserve.
Council received a tremendous response from the local residents in the recent community consultation for the Final Stage of the Tatura 10km Walking / Cycling Loop. Council has given consideration to all of the comments received in finalising the shared path design. The design has also been endorsed by the Walks and Rides Committee as part of Council’s consultation process.
The Final Stage of the 2.5m wide x 1.4km long stone dust path will be located entirely on the south side of O’Reilly Road to create a safe path alignment for cyclists and pedestrians.

Construction is planned to take approximately 4 weeks and will occur in the first half of 2021 and will be determined through the availability of contractors and suitable weather. Construction is to be completed by 30 June 2021.
How will the road reserve be managed in the future?
The only changes to the existing maintenance responsibility is that Council will maintain the new shared path itself and a 1-metre strip either side of the path (e.g. keeping the grass short) and including the strip between the path and the road. The remaining area of the road reserve will continue to be maintained under the existing responsibility.
Will there be seats, lighting, kerb and road upgrades and/or traffic calming measures?
The current funding does not include for seats or street furniture along the path and there are no current plans for upgrades to the lighting, kerbs and road pavement in O’Reilly Rd. These assets are on our long term priority programs and will be monitored for any upgrades required.
