Lack of footpaths on the Bellarine has been an issue for many years. A number of people have formed an advocacy group, which is meeting regularly, to bring this issue to the attention of all levels of government.
We are researching the many City of Greater Geelong documents that have listed providing footpaths as a priority to many parts of the Bellarine. We are researching footpath options and looking into how footpaths are funded in other municipalities.
Many people have shared stories about the safety issues around footpaths and their experiences. With so many people walking for health footpaths are such an important piece of infrastructure.
If you are interested in being part of this enthusiastic, active team, who would like to work towards change – we’d love to hear from you. Please email office@springdale.org.au or ring 5253 1960.
