Connecting our community through safe footpaths is one of the ways we’re building a better Manningham.
As part of our 2023/24 Capital Works Program, we’re constructing a shared path and upgrading the car park on Andersons Creek Road in Doncaster East, to improve pedestrian safety and accessibility.
Works will include:
- construction of a shared path
- installation of underground drainage, kerb and channel
- sealing the asphalt in the car park
Where is it?
This car park is outside Mitre 10, along Andersons Creek Road. The shared path will connect the existing paths at either side of the car park.
Why is the footpath needed?
This footpath will connect the existing footpaths on Andersons Creek Road, improving pedestrian connectivity, and safety and accessibility around the car park.
When will the works happen?
Works began in March 2024, and are expected to be completed by the end of May, subject to weather conditions.
How will the works affect me?
Car parking will be modified for the duration of the works.
Please follow the directions of staff and signs to move safely around the area.
Questions?
If you have any questions about these works or our footpaths program, contact us.
