Welcome to the latest community update for the Gipps Street Elevated Path Project, a significant initiative aimed at enhancing accessibility and connectivity along the Main Yarra Trail. 

New sections of the ramp recently installed on site.

Project status

Parks Victoria is on track to complete this project by December 2025.

Works recently completed

In August we installed two pile caps, three pillars and three panels along the elevated path. Only one final section of the ramp remains.

We continued to install drains and rock walls.  

Mains power was disconnected to Collins Bridge, and we installed solar lighting.

We continued planting works to stabilise and revegetate the embankment.

Solar powered lighting has been installed on Collins Bridge

Next steps

Work is underway on the construction of a retaining wall. This will allow us to install the final section of the ramp.

We are also installing handrails on the ramp and stairs.

Planting continues on the south side of Collins Bridge.

Native vegetation have been planted on the north side of Collins Bridge. More is planned for the south side of the bridge. 

Access

Construction work between the stairs and the street level are starting shortly. To keep everyone safe, there is no pedestrian access via the stairs to Gipps Street.
