The Upper Kiewa Valley Community Association (UKVCA) needs your feedback……..

The UKVCA has received a grant to place interpretive signage on the walk which commences at Embankment Drive, (which most people in the community refer to as the Pebble Beach Walk).   Now that the track extension goes further than this, we believe that it requires a more comprehensive name which will remain constant when the track is extended along the East Kiewa River and perhaps  even north (at a future time) along the Kiewa River to meet up with the Tawonga Fishing Track.

UKVCA propose that the new title be  – UPPER KIEWA RIVER TRAIL  –  a title which would be consistent for for tourists working from brochures and residents new to the area.  UKVCA would appreciate feedback on this proposed name or you can provide an alternate suggestion.

PLEASE respond on this site or email to info@ukvcommunity.org.au

UKVCA need your response ASAP.
