Major works have commenced to upgrade Jumping Creek Road, a key transport corridor in Warrandyte. This significant infrastructure project will improve safety, accessibility, and connectivity for all road users, including pedestrians and cyclists.

The upgrade works include road reconstruction and asphalting, improved drainage, new paths and enhanced landscaping to preserve the area’s natural character while supporting future growth.

As part of the upgrade, Manningham Council also completed a new footpath along Dudley Road, delivering safer pedestrian access for residents and visitors. The footpath now provides a vital link between local homes, schools and public transport routes.

Manningham Mayor Councillor Deidre Diamante said the Jumping Creek Road upgrade is a major step in improving road safety and access for all road users:

“The Jumping Creek Road upgrade reflects our commitment to improving access for everyone whether you’re walking, cycling, driving, or catching public transport,” Cr Diamante said.

“These projects are about creating safer, more connected neighbourhoods and supporting the way our residents move through Manningham.”

As well as improving the safety of Jumping Creek Road, the upgrade will provide increased vegetation for the area and wildlife protection measures. Virtual fence posts were installed in March to protect local wildlife and help reduce roadkill.

Council thanks the community for its ongoing support and patience as works continue.

The Jumping Creek Road upgrade is expected to be completed in late-2026.
