Cyclists and walkers may be getting more opportunities to enjoy Kororoit Creek following a Melton council decision to investigate potential pathway expansions.
At a meeting on Monday, June 26 Councillor Kathy Majdlik moved for council officers to prepare a report for a future briefing of councillors identifying the current walking and cycling network along the Kororoit Creek, and potential opportunities to expand this network along the Kororoit Creek corridor throughout the municipality.
“[Kororoit Creek is] a natural beautiful asset that we have in our community that could be further explored and enjoyed by our community,” she said.
“I’m interested to also see what current pathways and networks we have, particularly adjoining the Kororoit regional park that is led by the state government, but also how that can connect to the wider municipality.”
Councillor Sophie Ramsay said Melton has great nature linkages through walking reserves in “our wonderful municipality”.
“From the botanic gardens right through to Toolern Creek, down past the weir and into Eynesbury, it’s only fitting that we start planning for some beautiful walkways and bicycle lanes through Kororoit creek and surrounds,” she said.
