New Mount Montgomery eco-friendly facilities now open!

Mount Montgomery eco-friendly rest stop now open

Construction of the new Dial Range Eco-friendly Rest Stop Facilities is now complete and open for use.

With support from $431,000 in Australian Government funding through the Investing in Our Communities Program, the upgrade includes:
  • A new sustainable toilet that uses captured rainwater, supported by a surrounding rain garden
  • Wash-down and basic repair facilities for riders
  • A boot-wash station to help improve biosecurity
  • A refreshed picnic area, including new visitor shelters
  • An expanded car park (now 36 spaces), including two accessible bays

Designed with sustainability in mind

Council also took an eco-friendly approach to the car park extension by:
  • Using recycled concrete crushed into road base
  • Mulching removed trees for reuse in garden beds

These upgraded facilities have been delivered in line with the Dial Range Recreation Management Plan and are now open to the public.
