A three-kilometre concrete shared user path in Sanctuary Lakes has been completed by Wyndham council.
The path extends from the bridge over Skeleton Creek near Sunflower Walk to the Hobsons Bay municipal border.
The renovated path will replace the old gravel track in order to improve safety and usability for residents.
Mayor Mia Shaw said the project was important and fills a missing link that was existing in the walking network across Sanctuary Lakes.
Cr Susan McIntyre was an advocate for the path’s development, along with many residents.
“Whether you’re heading out for a scenic stroll, a jog with your dog, or a weekend bike ride, this improved path will offer a safer, more accessible and more enjoyable way to get around,” Cr McIntyre said.
She also said it will better connect the area with other sections of Point Cook and make the suburb more walkable.
“This long-awaited project will enhance connectivity along the coast, and with the Bay Trail bridge now linking directly into Saltwater it creates a seamless and more accessible route for residents and visitors alike,” she said.
“It’s a fantastic step forward for local active transport, connecting more people to nature, to their neighbourhoods, and to each other.”
