Greenline works recommence

Major construction activity along Birrarung Marr has recommenced as part of stage one of the City of Melbourne’s Greenline project.

The works will include constructing new boardwalks, earthworks along the river’s edge, and new pathways.

Once stage one is complete, the river’s edge will feature 450 metres of new boardwalks, promenades, and a variety of native habitats. However, there is still no clear timeline for the remaining 3.5 kilometres of the project.

Lord Mayor Cr Nick Reece is “delighted” that works have recommenced and expects them to be completed by the end of the year.

“We know the community is excited to see this landmark project completed, and we look forward to delivering this new space at Birrarung Marr,” he said.

“When complete, this stretch of the river is going to be one of the most beautiful walks in Melbourne.”

Early works were completed last year, including preparation for landscaping and boardwalks, as well as upgrades to underground drainage and lighting.

Regular updates will continue to be provided as work progresses throughout the year.
