Balaklava Railway Corridor
View the masterplan here
Project overview
Balaklava’s railway corridor was historically a hive of activity, servicing the busy silos and local railway station. The site includes concrete silos, a former railway station and turntable which are State Heritage listed.
Council’s Copper Trail and Lions Walking Trail start at the railway corridor, but lack a formal trailhead point, while Balaklava Lions Club is revamping the existing turntable on-site, at the western end of the corridor.
A master plan is being developed that aims to increase visitor numbers, improve site features, celebrate the site’s history and improve access between the town and the Ralli Park Sporting Precinct.
We thank everyone who has provided feedback on this project.
Council has allocated a budget of $50,000 to progress the Master Plan to detailed design in 2022/23.
