Connecting our community through safe footpaths is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.

As part of our 2023/24 Capital Works Program and Bicycle Network Priority Program, we're building a safe and accessible shared path connection to improve accessibility and safety for all users.

Where is it?

We're building a shared path on the western side of Tunstall Road, Donvale, between Beverly Street and St Clems Reserve. This will replace the existing footpath.

When will the works happen?

Construction will begin on Wednesday, 13 March 2024. We expect to complete the project by the end of April, weather permitting.

Why is the footpath needed?

We're upgrading the footpath to a shared path to improve cyclist safety and encourage the uptake of active transport.

The vision of the Manningham Bicycle Strategy 2013 is to meet the cycling needs of residents and, more importantly, to make cycling a safe, attractive and viable mode of transport. 

The Strategy focuses on local trips within a three to five-kilometre radius of key destinations, including local neighbourhood activity centres, community and transport hubs, and regional sporting and community recreation reserves.

How will the works affect me?

During construction, you may notice construction noise and reduced on-street parking. 

The works may temporarily impact driveway access to some properties. If your property is affected, we’ll contact you directly.

Please follow the directions of signage and staff as you move through the area.

We thank you for your patience and understanding while we work to improve footpath connections in your area.
