Today marked a successful milestone in the project as we achieved practical completion of major works along the Jimmy Melrose Pathway.

We completed an inspection of the pathway with our contractor and recorded observable defects. These defects (mostly touch-ups) are being scheduled for rectification in the coming days. These touch-ups will have minimal impact on cyclists and pedestrians, with traffic management in place as needed.

The site is currently being demobilised, including the removal of fencing, signage, bollards, machinery, and other equipment, followed by a general cleanup scheduled for tomorrow, Friday, 15 November.

Regular maintenance services—such as garbage collection, sweeping, tree pruning, irrigation, and lawn mowing—will resume from next week. In addition, minor works, like installing traffic signage, will follow shortly, with line marking scheduled for January 2025 due to contractor availability.

The pathway and all beach access points are now open for public use.

This project reflects our commitment to creating safe, accessible, and enjoyable public spaces for our community. We invite you to take a walk, run, or ride along the renewed path and welcome any feedback on your experience – let us know if there’s anything you loved or think could be improved. Your input helps us continuously enhance our projects and plan for future improvements.

Thank you for your patience, cooperation, and engagement as we bring this important project to its final stages.
