The City of Whittlesea has constructed a cycling path along the north side of McDonalds Road between Scarborough Road and the E6 Reserve.
The new path fills a missing link in the cycling path network and provides a continuous connection between Epping and Plenty Valley town centre.
The cycling path improves safety and connectivity for cyclists and links with places such as Greenbrook Shopping Centre, Meadowglen International Athletics Stadium and local schools.
The project aligns with Council’s Connected Community, Liveable Neighbourhoods and Sustainable Environment goals contained in the Whittlesea 2040: A place for all vision, as well as the Walking and Cycling Plan 2022-2027.
The project included:
Construction started in mid-September 2025 and finished in May 2026.
In 2022, Council sought feedback from residents living on the north side of McDonalds Road on the proposed project.
The majority of residents living on McDonalds Road between Scarborough Road and the E6 Reserve were in favour of constructing the cycling path separate from the existing footpath.
All feedback gathered during this consultation process helped inform the final concept plan.
This project was fully funded by the City of Whittlesea.
