Stage 1 design underway (Ringwood-Warradyte Road to Jumping Creek Bridge)

The preliminary design for the Stage 1 works has been completed in consultation with the Jumping Creek Road Community Reference Panel. A planning permit application for Stage 1A is due to be submitted in February 2018. This is required for vegetation removal, construction of retaining walls and a pedestrian path along this section of Jumping Creek Road.

Construction of Stage 1 will be undertaken in the following stages:

• Stage 1A (commencing June 2018): Ringwood- Warrandyte Road to Nelson Drive (subject to planning approval)

• Stage 1B (commencing in early 2019): Nelson Drive to the approach of the Jumping Creek Bridge

Staging of the works is necessary to ensure that works affecting traffic are limited to minimise impacts during the fire danger season.
