Residents upset as a "shared bike path" is built

Postby Noel Tudball » Sun Feb 16, 2020 11:15 pm


Scroll to the bottom of this page for the latest information.


The Vic State Govt body LXRA/LXRP has commenced work to extend its bike path in Seaford.

We are told that the new stretch will replace the footpath beside the Seaford RSL bistro (between the bistro and Kananook Creek).
Sadly, the first casualty of construction was the bird feeding trees immediately outside the bistro. The Rainbow Lorikeets are looking quite confused.

From now until sometime in March, RSL parking will be reduced, plus a section of Seaford station carpark will be closed.


We've also been advised that the new bike path between Seaford and Carrum running between Railway Pde and the Kananook Creek is also currently under construction, causing destruction of more bushland around Armstrongs Rd and Coolibar Avenue.

We asked for details about this bike path many times, but the response was always: "no decision as yet".  When the Seaford CRG was disbanded, we were told that we would be kept informed about important changes to our suburb but this did not happen. We have now asked for the plans again.

We always knew it was going to be difficult with the RSL cenotaph and the old power station in the way.  As the removal of vegetation has already commenced (apparently without community consultation), we have again asked for full details. Let us hope the loss of mature trees will be kept to a minimum.

Refer to the photos shared of the trees already removed and comments by others on our Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/SeafordCommunityCommittee/posts/3175809255784642

At its 17 Feb 2020 meeting, FCC resolved on an urgent business item which included writing a letter to LXRA/LXRP in relation to their vegetation removal works.
Hopefully, this will result in some consideration of the vegetation in our suburb.
