Back Creek Trail erosion Content components Works to stabilise the Back Creek Trail were completed in December 2025 after complex erosion was detected along the trail between Cornell Street and Riversdale Road in 2024.We worked with engineers, Melbourne Water and a specialist contractor to carry out works to restore the creek bank and prevent further erosion, and to get the path to a safe condition for everyone to use.Contractors advised that spring and summer will provide safer, more suitable conditions for the work. Warmer weather, lower water levels and drier ground will help crews complete the repairs more efficiently.
