It was announced 20/02/2025 that the Federal Government through the Active Transport Fund  is to jointly fund, with Hobsons Bay City Council, the building of  Stages 4 & 5 of the Kororoit Creek Trail. From Barnes Road Nth Altona to Cherry Lake Altona and Bay Trail.

The Honourable Tim Watts MP, Member for Gellibrand, was instrumental in getting this funding that will link Hobsons Bay via the Kororoit Creek shared trail along Toyota Way to Werribee, to Caroline Springs and to Melbourne’s CBD via the West Gate Tunnel Velaway and to the entire Melbourne metropolitan shared trail network.

Friends of Lower Kororoit Creek (FOLKC) have been advocating for this link for 25 years and thanks also to our State Government through Melissa Horne MP, Hobsons Bay City Council, Toyota Australia, West Gate Tunnel Project, Greening the West and now Tim Watts, this linkage is now a reality.

The Kororoit Creek Trail under the Geelong freeway and incorporating the Historic Blue Stone bridge is opened.

Also recently opened is the Federation Trail from Fogarty Ave to Millers road and onto the Kororoit Creek Trail junction. This path has been widened and refurbished. Great outcomes from the West Gate Tunnel Projects.

Maribyrnong River Trail

The Maribyrnong River trail between Brimbank Park Keilor to Avondale Heights has been reopened. This trail has been closed for over two years. The Trail has been repaired and resurfaced, unfortunately some very poor gravel sections remain.
