Council is proposing to replace the existing unsealed path through Shadrack Shaw Reserve in Concord with a new 3.5m wide shared path connecting Kingston Avenue and Nashs Lane. New kerb ramps will be on Kingston Avenue and Nashs Lane and new lighting along the path is also proposed.

This section of shared path will connect with the existing foreshore route through Majors Bay Reserve (via Kingston Avenue and Deakin Street) and provide a more convenient route for people walking and riding bikes between Mortlake and Majors Bay Reserve.

What happens next?

Feedback during early consultation supported the shared path and the vision of a fully continuous route along the foreshore. Some concerns were raised about the impact the project will have on the environment and residents next to the reserve.

In response to this feedback, Council will now undertake the necessary environmental assessments and begin preparing the detailed design to finalise the alignment of the path. We will consider feedback and suggestions as we prepare the project design and keep local residents and the community informed of future opportunities to provide feedback.

Take a look at a summary of the feedback and suggestions we received in the community consultation report.
