The Strathbogie Shire is a progressive and vibrant destination to live, work and invest. We are a pro-development organisation, who have fostered and supported many new developments currently being established right throughout our Shire.
Projects and Works have been hard at work constructing brand new footpaths in and around Euroa. Below are some of the more recent footpaths now accessible to the public..
LIVINGSTONE STREET, AVENEL - STAGE 2 GRAVEL FOOTPATH
KIRKLAND AVENUE FOOTPATH
Kirkland Avenue, Euroa
A request was made to Council to construct a concrete footpath on Kirkland Avenue from the Railway Street side to the existing Uniting Church. Due to increasing acccess to the church, with many pedestrians making their way from the railway underpass on Railway Street, this new path has recently been completed and has addressed the crossing area over the kerb and gutter at Railway Street and is 1.5 metres wide. This path width will assist passing for pedestrian traffic and other footpath users. It was also very timeley that the new NBN node was fitted and the Telstra pit repaired at the corner of Railway Street and Kirkland Avenue, before the new path was constructed. This footpath was an item from the 2016-17 Budget.
Weir Street, Euroa
A widened 1.5 metre concrete path has replaced the old narrow path, upgrading part of the link from Euroa Health/Granite Hill aged care facility to the Euroa Corner Store and towards the Euroa township and nearby schools.
Anderson Street, Euroa
A new 1.5 metre concrete path link is being constructed between the existing traffic lights at Clifton Street and the path in front of houses (some 50 metres north-west), upgrading the potentially ponding gravel areas.
Concrete pour on McGuinness Street, Euroa
Clifton Street, Euroa
A footpath is currently being constructed partly along Clifton Street, up until the corner of Binney Street in Euroa.

Upgrade and replacement works will commence at four bridges in the Strathbogie Shire over the coming months, requiring road closures at the following locations near Euroa.
Faithfulls Creek Road bridge no. 6 has deteriorated and we have decided to close it immediately for safety reasons, prior to replacement.
Council advises seeking an alternative route, as these locations will mostly not involve detours.
The following bridges are scheduled for upcoming works:

Please note the mentioned dates are approximate and more up to date signage on the roads will apply.
It may be that works are started later or completed earlier than the final date noted, and if this is the case the traffic signage on the roads will be removed. If the road is still closed the signage will be left in place. We will try and keep you updated of significant changes to these dates.
Last financial year, 15 bridges in the Strathbogie Shire received works, including full reconstruction and strengthening works such as deck overlays and re-decking.
Council thanks the community for their patience and cooperation in advance.
