    Help Shape a Better Bass Coast Community Engagement – Paths, Trails and Footpaths Inverloch and Cape Paterson Complete the concrete pathway to the Inverloch surf club before someone is run over by a car Add a cycle path/lane to the Cape Pat-Inverloch road Footpaths in Inverloch on every road and bins at beach exits Sort the walking/ bike path to Cape Paterson out as a high priority. It's one of the missing links in growing tourism and would provide another health and wellbeing option for the locals. The section along surf parade and up to the RACV Club entrance. Finish the footpath from Ayr Creek to Invy Surf Beach Inverloch needs more FOOTPATHS up near the highway end of town! There's nothing worse than having to use a mobility scooter on the road.... It's frightening! Not to mention it's actually illegal! So come on how about paving the place!! - Also please extend the walking track along Surf Pde Inverloch. Invest in footpaths in Inverloch down Toorak Road. This a community that likes to walk and exercise and people's safety is at risk as they walk with prams, run and walk into town along the road, as they have no other option. Invest some of our capital works budget in the wellbeing and safety of residents and visitors. There are nature strips on either side so no reason why this cannot be achieved - Jan Martin (resident and ratepayer) This should be a high priority as Toorak Road carries a lot of pedestrian traffic. With sun glare and shade cast by trees it is extremely dangerous as drivers have difficulty spotting pedestrians as well as keeping their eye on traffic and parked vehicles.
