Old Warrandyte Road improvements

Project categoryRoads and traffic
StatusPlanned
Approx. start dateMarch 2026

As part of our ongoing commitment to improve roads and pedestrian networks across Maroondah, Council will undertake road improvement works along the eastern side of Old Warrandyte Road, between Little John Road and the existing bus stop outside 88 Old Warrandyte Road.

About the works

Works will include:

New kerb between Quamby Road and Little John Road on the east side of the Old Warrandyte Road.
Construction of new concrete footpath on the eastern side of the road from 86 Old Warrandyte Road, connecting into Little John Road.
Construction of new kerb ramps (pedestrian crossing points) on the corner of Quamby Road.
Renewal and upgrade of the existing guard rail.
Vehicle crossover reconstruction.
Naturestrip vegetation removal outside 92-98 Old Warrandyte Road, Ringwood North to enable the above works.

Works will commence in March 2026 and are projected to take approximately six weeks to complete.

Tree removal

The vegetation referenced above has been identified by Council’s Arborists for removal due to its unmanageable and overgrown condition. The works will include returning the area to a grassed naturestrip.

Vehicle crossing reconstruction

Due to the severity of the existing footpath grades, some vehicle crossings will be reconstructed to allow the concrete footpath to extend through the vehicle crossings at compliant grades. Some vehicle crossings may need to be reconstructed within private property extents. This will be identified during detailed design and discussed directly with affected residents.

Updates will be provided as the project progresses. Works are subject contractor availability.
