Toomuc Valley Reserve Shared Path

The project is the extension to the existing Toomuc Valley Reserve bike and walking path for use by the general public. The project includes the development of a shared path, the first stage of which will continue the existing path along Toomuc Valley Road at Syme Road and extend to Browns Road. The second later stage will then join Brown Road to the Cardinia Aqueduct Trail. The path will also have park benches, signs and guardrailing. We believe this project is much needed to address important community issues (especially with proximity to schools) and recreational benefits.

The project will benefit the community by improving safety, supporting healthy living, social cohesion & recreation. The direct community benefit comes from safe pedestrian and bike access along Toomuc Valley Road, keeping cyclists and walkers off the dangerous roadside verge. With a significant growth in residential development around this location, the path extension will provide much needed green space to enjoy healthy walking, bike trail riding, further up the valley. The path aligns with Council's aim to link bike paths across the Shire, while also opening up the opportunity to link with the under-utilised Cardinia Aquaduct Trail.
