Footpath Network Begins Taking Shape

We continue to build an accessible footpath network in the ‘old’ Ocean Grove and Collendina areas, with work on more new footpaths about to get underway.

The Ocean Grove Principal Pedestrian Network (PPN) plans to deliver more than 20 kilometres of new pathways over the next few years, ensuring safer access to destinations such as schools and local businesses.

Our teams have wrapped up work on the following footpaths which are now being used by the community:

  • Shell Road
  • Aldebaran Road
  • North side of Marlin Drive
  • Presidents Avenue, in front of Ocean Grove Park

We’re finalising designs in preparation for construction to get underway shortly in the following locations:

  • Thacker Street (Blue Waters Drive to Field Street North)
  • Draper Street (Eggleston Street to Tuckfield Street)
  • Field Street South (133 – The Parade)
  • The Avenue (Presidents Avenue to Tuckfield Street)

New footpaths are helping to make ‘old’ Ocean Grove and Collendina more inclusive and accessible.

We thank residents for their patience during construction and for treating our crews with respect.

It’s great to see the community out and about utilising the new paths, including parents pushing prams and people with mobility aids.
