Boroondara Greenways are a network of paths designed for walking and cycling, promoting sustainable and active travel within the City of Boroondara.
These greenways connect parks, reserves, and other green spaces, creating continuous routes for residents and visitors to enjoy. The City is investing in expanding and improving these greenways, aiming to enhance connectivity, encourage active transportation, and reduce reliance on cars.
Purpose: Greenways are designed to be shared paths for both pedestrians and cyclists, linking important destinations within Boroondara.
Benefits: Encourage active travel, offer recreational opportunities, and contribute to a more sustainable environment by reducing car usage.
Expansion: Boroondara is actively expanding its greenways network, with a recent $3 million investment to improve and connect existing paths.
Biodiversity: Greenways provide access to areas that can be planted to improve biodiversity including trees, shrubs and native grasses that provide wildlife corridors and habitat.
Examples: The Gardiners Creek Trail, the Main Yarra Trail and the Darebin Creek trail link are existing examples of shared paths within Boroondara.
Community Input
The development of Greenways is informed by community feedback, with initiatives like the Boroondara Bicycle Strategy and consultations on the Boroondara Community Plan playing a role.
