Upper Colo Bridge Replacement - Heritage Interpretation Plan

The Upper Colo Bridge located across the Colo River at Colo Heights Road, Upper Colo experienced extensive damage as a result of the 2021 floods. The existing timber bridge is being replaced with a new concrete bridge.

As part of the approvals process Council undertook a series of assessments to ensure aspects such as the historical nature of the site and any environmental matters were assessed. One of the outcomes of the assessments was the development of a Heritage Interpretation Plan.

We want the community to read and have its say on the Heritage Interpretation Plan.

The Heritage Interpretation Plan has been formulated to recognise the importance of the original timber bridge. This involves salvaging the remaining timbers to be repurposed as part of the landscape.
