Sugar Gum Drive and Boronia Drive footpath development
- Project typeFootpath developement
- Project value$1.9m
- Project scheduleJuly 2025 to October 2025
- Completion Date31 October 2025
Melton City Council is constructing a footpath network along Sugar Gum Drive and Boronia Drive in Sugar Gum Estate.
We're widening the road shoulder and providing a kerb separated pedestrian path. The path is constructed on the outer edge of Sugar Gum Drive, and the southern/outer side of Boronia Drive.
This is a path that would suit the existing infrastructure and rural lifestyle in the estate and would be a viable alternative to a fully urbanised road and footpath. Other options were expensive and challenging due to existing open drain and electricity poles.
The project is progressing well with the Boronia Drive section being close to completion. The project is on track for an end of October completion, with current works to the Sugar Gum Drive section well underway.
Completed works include:
- Bulk and major earthworks
- Edge Strip completed
- Drain works
- Crushed rock filling
- Asphalting
- Reinstating driveways
