Mornington: Priority Footpath - Nepean Highway Mornington to Mt Eliza

Project typeRoads, Streetscapes and Footpaths
Project value$100,000 (Design)

As an outcome of the Shire’s Footpath Construction Strategy, the footpath construction along the Nepean Highway was identified as a high priority. The construction of the footpath will provide a safe, all-weather access for pedestrians. Council will be progressing the design and approval of the proposed works this financial year.

The project is proposed to include a footpath along the northern side of the Nepean Highway from Mornington Secondary College to the existing footpath at the Volitans Road intersection in Mount Eliza.

The Detailed Design for Stages 1 and 2 has been completed, and approval requests have been submitted to the relevant authorities. MPSC has requested updated advice from a Cultural Heritage Consultant and have received a proposal for Flora and Fauna assessment. MPSC has met with Mornington Secondary School to discuss the footpath proposal.

Construction for Stages 1 and 2 will depend on funding in future financial years.
