Nimbin Rainbow Walk, October 2024 Update

Nimbin Rainbow Walk is coming along beautifully, despite recent rain which has caused a slight delay. The wet weather means we’re expecting a setback of about a week to allow the area to dry out before work continues.

On a positive note, the installation of the bridges is well underway, with galvanised steel girders and balustrades already in place. Over the next two weeks, we anticipate completing the northern bridges, with flooring, timber rails and post in-lays all set to be installed shortly.

We’re also excited to share that the concreting of the path and stairs at the southern entry is nearly complete, with just a small 20-metre section left. Once this is finished, the contractor will move on to complete the third and fourth bridges.

Several key landscaping decisions have been made, including the addition of a charming low rural-style fence for the northern entries, a large recycled timber pergola and new wayfinding signage to guide visitors along the walk.

In terms of environmental progress, our bush regeneration team has removed most of the weeds in the northern area, clearing the way for upcoming planting. A dedicated Landcare Group has also been established for the site, though the first meeting and planting day has been delayed due to last week’s rain.
