Explore trails with new map

A new online shared user path map will make it easier for Wyndham residents to explore new trails in their backyard.

The interactive map on Wyndham council’s website allows users to search for nearby walking and cycling paths, and provides detailed information about some of Wyndham’s bigger trails, including the Werribee River Trail, Wyndham Bay Trail and Lollypop Creek Bike Trail.

The map will be updated over time as more existing shared paths are added and the shared user path network expands, council said.

Mayor Mia Shaw encouraged residents to check out the map for themselves.

“Whether you are travelling to work or school, or just looking for a great leisure experience, Wyndham has many bike trails and walking paths for you to explore,” Cr Shaw said.

“The shared user path map is a fantastic resource that will help residents discover new routes and enjoy the many beautiful trails Wyndham has to offer.

“It also builds on Wyndham City’s ongoing efforts to improve our footpath and shared path network in line with the Active Transport Strategy, which aims to make it easier for residents to get around on foot or bike.

“Most recently Wyndham City, in collaboration with Melbourne Water and an adjacent landowner, completed a new 720-metre path that connects the Federation Trail with the existing Laverton Creek path to Dohertys Road, enhancing the shared path network in the Truganina Employment Precinct.”
