CONVICT BRICK TRAIL RETURNS TO CAMPBELL TOWN STREETSCAPE

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.
Community input has also influenced the design of Stage 2 of the project, with the convict brick trail already incorporated into plans that recently underwent public consultation.
To maintain safety and minimise disruption, bricks will not be reinstated across property access points or in areas commonly used by businesses for outdoor dining, signage, temporary infrastructure and will avoid underground services where required.
Work to lay new foundations for the brick trail has already commenced and will continue over the next 6 months, in conjunction with the ongoing Campbell Town Streetscape works.
Northern Midlands Council Mayor Mary Knowles OAM said Council had always been committed to reinstating the trail.
