We’re building new walking and cycling trails in Melbourne’s north.

We are partnering with local government to provide targeted investment into new priority off-road cycling and walking trails in northern metropolitan Melbourne to increase active recreation and the safety of cyclists and pedestrians and enhance communities’ ability to connect with nature.

We are working closely with the northern Melbourne municipalities to construct the new trail projects.

The Northern Melbourne municipalities are:

  • Banyule
  • Darebin
  • Hume
  • Moreland
  • Nillumbik
  • Whittlesea
  • La Trobe University
