THE Balmattum Hill Walking Track will reopen to the public just in time for the June long weekend and the easing of coronavirus (COVID-19) restrictions.
The track has been closed since a bushfire in January, which burnt about 350 hectares of land from the Euroa Strathbogie Road along the Balmattum Hill toward Cusack Road.
Reopening the walking track has been a significant effort by Strathbogie Shire Council - replacing 140 metres of fence, repairing the Rotary Rotunda on the hill and ensuring expert arborists deem the trees along the track within council land as safe.
