Quarry Hills Connecting Trails

The Quarry Hills Connecting Trails project will allow residents and visitors alike to enjoy the landscape and views of the City of Whittlesea’s premier open space.

About

The Quarry Hills Connecting Trails project will see a series of trails built to provide connections to the parkland precinct.

Construction on the trails network will start in early-to-mid 2024 and deliver about 4.5 kilometres of walking and cycling paths through the parkland’s natural environment.

There will be five trails ranging in length from about 300 metres to more than 1.5 kilometres and have estimated walking times of between 10 and 40 minutes.

Benefits

The trails will showcase the natural beauty of the parkland, as well as highlight its significance to the traditional owners of the land, the Wurundjeri Willum Clan.

The trails will also help break down some of the barriers preventing people from being physically active by being accessible to people of all ages.

Funding

The City of Whittlesea has received funding towards this project from the Victorian Government, including from its Growing Suburbs Fund grants program.
