Connecting our community through safe footpaths is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.
As part of our 2022-23 Capital Works Program, we’re constructing the missing section of footpath between 80 and 98 Wood Street, Templestowe to improve safety and accessibility.
This project will include:
- construction of a footpath
- kerb and channel
- installation of underground drainage
Where is it?
We will construct the footpath on the south side of Wood Street (between McLachlan Street and Milne Street) in Templestowe.
Why is the footpath needed?
This project aims to improve all-weather safety and connectivity for pedestrians travelling through the area. It will link nearby footpaths and provide improved accessibility and a safe, all-weather connection for pedestrians.
Installing kerb and channel and underground stormwater drainage will assist in directing stormwater into drains.
When will the works happen?
The project commenced in late September and is expected to take three months.
If delays occur due to poor weather or unexpected events, we will let you know.
How will the works affect me?
We will make every effort to reduce inconvenience to residents, motorists and pedestrians as we progress this project.
uring these works, please allow extra time to travel safely through the area and follow directions indicated by signage and traffic controllers. between the hours of 7.00am and 5.00pm on weekdays, and emergency vehicle access will be maintained at all times.
Please note that we may store materials and machinery on the nature strip in Wood Street, and some small street trees may need to be removed. However, we will replant vegetation whenever possible once the project is complete.
Thank you for your patience while we plan and undertake these important works.
