As part of Council’s continuing commitment to the construction of footpaths within Maroondah to improve pedestrian access and safety, funding has been made available in the 2025/26 financial year for the construction of a footpath on the eastern side of Heatherdale Road, Vermont between Canterbury Road and Abbey Walk Reserve.

The works will include:

Construction of a new concrete footpath on the eastern side of Heatherdale Road between Canterbury Road and Abbey Walk.
Construction of associated kerb ramp crossings at the Rahnston Court, Brampton Court, McDonough Lane and Shibor Drive intersections.
Minor road narrowing to the southeastern side of the Heatherdale Road and Centre Road intersection to reduce construction impact to nearby high value trees.
Construction of a kerb outstand outside Abbey Walk Reserve to support the footpath.
Removal of five (5) street trees outside properties no. 151, 157, 181, 185 and 189.
Removal of two (2) residential private trees outside properties no. 135 and 165.

The works will include the reconstruction of some vehicle crossings along the extent of works to allow the concrete footpath to extend through the vehicle crossing at compliant grades.
