In early June, a short 110-metre section of the Gardiners Creek Trail underpass at Toorak Road in Hawthorn East will be closed for maintenance works.

Works are expected to commence Tuesday 9 June, weather permitting, and be completed by Friday 12 June.

We’re relocating a light pole that is currently next to the creek to the other side of the trail. This is a proactive approach to ensure the light pole is in a stable position and not located on the creek bank where there is potential for minor erosion over time.

To keep everyone safe while works are underway, we’ll be closing the trail at both sides through the underpass.

Please plan ahead and allow extra time when travelling on these dates.
