Corowa to Mulwala Trail
The proposed trail alignment was identified by on-ground and aerial assessments which was used as the basis of preparing project budgets, environmental assessments, property acquisition and drainage design.
The Corowa to Mulwala Trail is part of the Murray River Regional Experiences project which is a joint initiative of Albury City, Berrigan Shire and Federation Councils. The project aims to strengthen access to and connection with the Murray River for both residents and visitors. The councils are tasked with projects to improve infrastructure along 60 km of Murry River frontage.
Federation Council is undertaking the Corowa to Mulwala Trail (CMT) and Foreshore Precincts project, which features the construction of a shared use trail linking the townships of Corowa and Mulwala. The combined projects provide an opportunity to encourage exploration along the Murray River and integrate towns and villages across the three LGAs, creating a strengthened interface with the Murray River.

Initial survey and development of the most feasible trail alignment,
