We're making improvements along Alexander Road to improve accessibility and safety.
The project will include:
- a new footpath
- kerb and channel
- drainage improvements
Where is it?
These improvements will be constructed along Alexander Road in Warrandyte, between Heidelberg-Warrandyte Road and the back of Warrandyte High School.
Why is it needed?
Upgrades to Alexander Road have been prioritised based on both community feedback and strategic planning, which identified a need for improved drainage, safer paths, and better road conditions.
Alexander Road scored highly in our footpath priority program due to its proximity to Warrandyte High School, key bus stops, and the Main Yarra Trail. The works will upgrade the road surface and provide safer, more accessible paths, making it easier and safer for residents and students to move around the area and encouraging more walking and active transport.
Drainage improvements are a key part of the project, responding to concerns raised by residents about stormwater runoff and erosion. The existing deep table drains will be replaced with a new underground drainage system designed to reduce flooding risks, prevent erosion, and lower maintenance needs and costs.
When will the works happen?
We plan to design this project as part of our 2024/25 Capital Works Program.
