Snowy Hydro and Snowy Monaro Regional Council are working together to improve safety on the Jindabyne Shared Trail along the Jindabyne Dam Wall following community feedback. An independent risk assessment identified a safety risk due to the low guardrail in this area, especially for cyclists who don’t dismount, as required by existing safety measures including barriers and signage.
What’s Changing?
To help keep everyone safe, the current safety measures are temporarily being strengthened, including new barriers and updated signage. This will be installed across the Dam Wall, including in the identified high-risk section. Cycling across the Dam Wall will temporarily be restricted. Pedestrian access will remain open during this time.
What’s next?
Snowy Hydro is working closely with Snowy Monaro Regional Council to manage safety risks and ensure the trail remains a valued part of our community, while also meeting operational requirements for Jindabyne Dam.We’re committed to keeping this temporary solution in place for as short a time as possible and we’re already working with the relevant stakeholders to design a long-term fix that supports both safe trail use and dam operations.
