Dumbleyung Lake Trail
Draft Master Plan
A draft Dumbleyung Lake Trail Master Plan has been completed for Shire of Dumbleyung consideration. The aim of the master plan is to establish a full circumference walk and bike trail around Dumbleyung Lake, noting at present public access is restricted to 2 north and south sections. This project is a shortlisted priority identified in the Shire of Dumbleyung Destination Development Plan. The draft master plan provides a high level indication of where a full lake trail could be located, including specific areas recommended for earlier development and activation potentially as a staged process. The draft master plan is now available for public comment with feedback invited by no later than 4pm Friday 28th March 2025. Council will formally consider adoption of the Dumbleyung Lake Trail Master Plan at a following meeting.

CBH & WESTERN POWER PRESENTATIONS
The Shire of Dumbleyung and other regional local government representatives received two presentations from both CBH and Western Power at its most recent WALGA Central Country Zone Meeting held in the Shire of Cuballing.
CBH provided an outline of their current strategy and intended investment plan, whilst Western Power provided information around the significant risk issues currently being encountered by rural communities in relation to pole top fires. Further details attached. It was great to see/hear CBH providing an update on their recently completed successful Dumbleyung Terminal upgrades. Dumbleyung Terminal has also been tentatively earmarked by CBH as a site for a new (next) round of fast speed rail loading infrastructure investment, subject to funding.
The pole top fire issues that Western Power are responsible for remain an ongoing concern for our community, however, there was pleasing news on two fronts. The intended reinstatement of line washing using aerial appliances (helicopters) and an ongoing program of replacement insulators utilising less combustible alternatives
