Construction to upgrade the footpath along Taroona Avenue in Warrandyte will begin in November 2024.
The new concrete path is part of the four-stage Main Yarra Trail Extension project. It will link the Main Yarra Trail, Mullum Mullum Trail and Eastlink Trail - connecting Warrandyte to the CBD.
In response to community feedback, the final design includes a footpath instead of the originally proposed shared path. The path will extend the full length of the eastern side of the road, with a sandstone kerb to complement the area's natural character.
These works will be completed ahead of stage three, which includes the section from Pound Road to Taroona Avenue.
We have revised the design for this stage to better align with the environmental requirements and invite feedback at the upcoming community consultation sessions in November 2024.
