Find information about suggesting a new footpath, including how to submit a request, assessment criteria, and the approval and construction process.

If you would like a new bike lane or footpath, you can submit a request below. We review requests to construct new footpaths where they currently do not exist and we will research and assess the situation, and then liaise with you to discuss the outcome.

Construction works

Wyndham City has adopted an Active Transport Strategy for Wyndham, which recognises the importance of creating a connected city by constructing new footpaths and shared-use paths to fill in gaps in our footpath and shared-use path network.
This may impact items currently located within the nature strip, including:
  • Plants that overhang the nature strip will be pruned back to the property boundary as required.
  • Letterboxes located within the nature strip will be relocated to inside property boundaries.
  • Non-standard decorative driveways that extend into the nature strip will be saw-cut at the property boundary and replaced with Council-standard crossovers.
  • Landscaping and garden beds within the nature strip will be removed. Salvaged materials will be returned to residents; otherwise, they will be disposed of appropriately.
  • Residents who have planted on the nature strips and want to keep these plants should relocate them within their property boundary as soon as possible.
