As part of Council’s ongoing commitment to footpath construction and improvement work, funding has been made available for the construction of a footpath in Kubis Drive and Werac Drive, Ringwood North.

The works will include:

Construction of a new concrete footpath on the on the southern side of Kubis Drive between Pamela Place and Glenvale Road
Construction of a new concrete footpath on the on the eastern side of Werac Drive between Kubis Drive and Manuela Terrace
Construction of associated kerb ramp crossings at the June Square, Debbie Place, Pamela Place and Werac Drive intersections
Alterations to kerb and asphalt to support the footpath construction between no. 32 and no. 38 Werac Drive
Removal of eight (8) street trees outside properties no. 38 Werac Drive, no. 4, 6, 18, 38, 42 Kubis Drive and two outside no. 106 Glenvale Road.

Tree Removal

The trees referenced above have been identified by Council’s Arborists for removal due to the trees’ significant root systems that exist on the surface of the nature strip that will need to be removed to construct the footpath. These have also been highlighted on the design plans, which can be viewed below. Upon the completion of the project, Council’s tree planting team will assess the project for potential new street tree planting.

Vehicle Crossing Reconstruction

Due to the severity of the existing grades, the footpath construction will include the reconstruction of several vehicle crossings along the extent of works to allow the concrete footpath to extend through the vehicle crossing at compliant grades. Some of the vehicle crossings will be required to be reconstructed within private property extents. These have also been highlighted on the design plans, which can be viewed below.
