Connecting our community through safe footpaths is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.

As part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program, we’re constructing a new footpath connection on Hopetoun Road, Park Orchards, to improve accessibility and safety.

Works will include:

• constructing a new footpath.

Where is it?

Construction will occur on Hopetoun Road between Brucedale Crescent and Dirlton Crescent in Park Orchards.

When will the works happen?

Construction will likely begin in October 2024 and be completed by early December 2024. Subject to weather conditions and contractor availability.
 

Why is the footpath needed?

This footpath will connect the existing footpaths on Brucedale Crescent, improving pedestrian connectivity, as well as safety and accessibility to Dirlton Crescent. The upgrade will provide a safe and accessible walking route to encourage healthier, more active lifestyles.

How will the works affect me?

The works will take place on weekdays during the hours of 7.00am and 5.00pm. 

There may be some construction noise and minor traffic delays. Construction will require a single lane road closure and closure of the footpath. Detours will be in place to help guide you through the area. There will also be reduced on street parking and temporary disruptions to driveway access. We will contact the affected properties directly prior to construction.

Please follow the directions of staff and signs to move safely around the area. We appreciate your patience and understanding while we work to improve the footpath connections in your area.
