Northern Midlands Council has confirmed that Campbell Town’s historic convict brick trail will be reinstated as part of Stage 1 of the Campbell Town Streetscape Development.
The bricks were temporarily removed and placed in storage to protect them during road and footpath construction.
While the original design for Stage 1 proposed reconfiguring the bricks into ship-shaped motifs, Council has revised the plan following community feedback. The bricks will now be reinstated in a continuous line, reflecting their previous layout.
A new chapter in community-led reuse and waste reduction will begin with the soft opening of the Rekindle Tip Shop on Wednesday, 25 March, at the Longford Waste Transfer Station, 291 Marlborough Street Longford.
