  • Walking and Cycling Strategy
    1 1 Snapshot Council is committed to a city that is walking and cycling friendly and one where residents of all ages and abilities can easily walk and cycle as their preferred form of exercise and transport. Therefore, the strategy considers opportunities to better cater for the needs of all people who use pathways including people in wheelchairs, parents/carers with prams, young children on scooters, as well as cyclists and walkers. Cycling and especially walking are among Victorian’s most popular activities. Approximately 36% of the population walks and 12% of the population cycles as their preferred form of physical activity. Well-planned, inviting pathways and trails will encourage people to be more active as part of their daily routine and as a result derive some of the social, health and wellbeing, environmental and economic benefits that come with walking and cycling. The strategy recognises that often people walk and cycle for very different reasons and it is important to understand and plan for facilities that support different needs. Therefore the strategy takes into account that people may walk and cycle for health and fitness, recreation, or transport reasons. The strategy provides a framework and principles for the planning, design, improvement and management of Council’s network of pathways and trails. A further objective is to provide a framework for encouraging greater involvement of residents, community organisations, and government in the development of walking, cycling and other pathway related activities and opportunities. The Walking and Cycling Strategy is a strategic document that considers activity and lifestyle trends, industry and government guidelines and standards, partnership opportunities, and the aspirations of residents.

  • Continuous Bicycle and Pedestrian Path
    CAULFIELD TO DANDENONG Continuous bicycle and pedestrian path The Level Crossing Removal Project: Caulfield to Dandenong is removing nine level crossings and rebuilding five stations on the Cranbourne Pakenham train line. The project will reduce congestion on the local road and rail network, and deliver a safer and more reliable train service, contributing to a 42 per cent increase in capacity. The Level Crossing Removal Project: Caulfield to Dandenong will provide a 17 kilometre shared path for commuter and recreational cyclists and pedestrians. Over 12 kilometres of shared path will be built, joining existing paths to create a continuous route from Caulfield to the EastLink trail. The path will link with other cycle and walking paths and connect new community spaces and transport interchanges along the rail corridor. It will make it easier to get to important medical, shopping, work and university destinations. As most of the path will be off-road, it will be much safer for commuter and recreational cyclists and pedestrians. levelcrossings.vic.gov.au Authorised and published by the Victorian Government, 1 Treasury Place, Melbourne Camberwell Toorak Burwood Burwood Hwy High St Ashburton Wantirna Monash University Dandenong Valley (Caulfield High St R Parklands Campus) d W Caulfield averley R Racecourse d Glen Waverley Monash Fwy Princ Outer circle trail connection Neerim R Grange Road d es Hwy Carnegie Koornang Road Chadstone Jells Park Knoxfield Scoresby Oakleigh F Murrumbeena d Road erntree Gul Murrumbeena CAULFIELDly Rd TO DANDENONG RAIL TRAIL d Princ North R ange R d d Brighton East Gr Poath Road es Hwy TheMonash new pedestrian and bike path provides oath R P anUni offve rroadsity connection between Caulfield Wheelers Hill arrigal R (Clayton Campus) Nor and EastLink providing a safe facility for W th Rd commuters and for recreation.
