We’re building the trail in four stages: Kuranga Nursery (formerly Beasley’s Nursery) to Alexander Road, Alexander Road to Pound Road, Pound Road to Taroona Avenue, and Taroona Avenue. Find out more about the trail sections in our flyer.
Why it's needed
The Main Yarra Trail extension will link the Main Yarra Trail, Mullum Mullum Trail and the Eastlink Trail - connecting Warrandyte to Melbourne CBD.
The trail will provide a safe and convenient route for pedestrians and cyclists to commute to school, shops and work, promoting physical activity and active lifestyles within our community. This crucial link will also be a drawcard for recreational cyclists and tourists.
The trail is listed in several of Manningham’s strategic plans, including the Manningham Bicycle Strategy and the Active for Life Recreation Strategy.
When it's happening
The plan for this trail has evolved over 20 years and is being built in four sections.
1. Beasley’s Nursery to Alexander Road
Completed in August 2023.
2. Alexander Road to Pound Road
Completed in 2020.
3. Pound Road to Taroona Avenue
We are progressing planning for the third stage of the shared path, which will provide an important connection for pedestrians and cyclists between Pound Road and Taroona Avenue.
Following community engagement sessions held in Warrandyte during 2024 and 2025, residents requested we explore options for a shared path through the reserve along Northern Side of Heidelberg-Warrandyte Road. We are exploring this option including the impacts on residents and vegetation with these investigations due to be completed in late 2026. We intend to provide more information and share proposed designs in early 2027.
4. Taroona Avenue (entire road)
Completed in November 2025.
