Project update: August 2024
Phase one works
We're please to share that we're nearing completion of phase one works.
Due to recent wet weather and hard rock excavation, we’ve been delayed in finishing the current works.
We’re doing everything we can to ensure the works are completed as soon as possible, and we estimate they will be completed by August 2024.
The completion of phase one will mark the end of the project's road works.
Revegetation works
We’ve also begun the process of revegetating the area by removing weeds.
We’ll begin replanting various native Warrandyte species in mid-September.
These plants are intended to support the area's biodiversity and enhance the road's appearance.
We’ll continue to support and maintain these plantings for the next two years while they become established.
