HVP Plantations have advised that thinning operations will be undertaken within two sections of their plantation, within the Djuwang Baring trails network, between Friday 6 February and Friday 13 March 2026.

A section of G10 from the Lookout, as well as the Lake Link (L), Adventure (N), and Wood Coupe trails, will be closed to allow for planned tree harvesting works. The harvest area is highlighted in yellow below

Trails closed are G10, L1, L2, L3, L5, L6, L7, L8, L9, L10, L11, L12, L13, N1, N2, N3, W1, W2, W3, W4, W6, W7, and W8.

We will be working with HVP Plantation during these works to minimise closures.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF COUNTRY

Hepburn Shire Council acknowledge the Dja Dja Wurrung as the Traditional Owners of the lands and waters on which we live and work.

On these lands, Djaara have performed age-old ceremonies of celebration, initiation and renewal. We recognise their resilience through dispossession, and it is a testament to their culture and tradition, which is strong and thriving.

We also acknowledge the neighbouring Traditional Owners, the Wurrundjeri to our Southeast and the Wadawurrung to our Southwest, and we pay our respects to all Aboriginal peoples, their culture, and lore.

We acknowledge their living culture and the unique story they play in the life of this region in which the Hepburn region resides and operates.
