Thank you for your feedback
We are now analysing what you've shared with us before we complete the feasibility study.
Darebin City Council, Merri-bek City Council, and Melbourne Water are exploring the potential to transform under-utilised land into a vibrant new walking and cycling trail.
The proposed trail would use land owned by Melbourne Water between Reservoir and Coburg North.
From 16 March - 12 April we asked for your feedback. We wanted to know what would make the trail feel safe, welcoming and enjoyable for you? The trail would cross some major roads, and we wanted your thoughts on how to do this safely.
We are investigating if the project is possible. Your feedback will be included in the final feasibility study.
