Progress Update - 7 August 2026
- All works are now complete and the path is open for public use.
Project Background
We are planning to construct 215m of 1.5m-wide footpath along Rutledge Street from Ellendon Street to Kings Highway. This project has been identified in the adopted Bungendore Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities Plan and is ranked fourth in the Bungendore works priority list.
Consultation with residents regarding the proposed path alignment is set to begin from 11 June.
The works will require the removal of some trees to accommodate the footpath; this will be discussed with residents, and replacement saplings will be planted to offset the loss.
The footpath construction is expected to have minimal impact on traffic along Rutledge Street, with traffic management measures implemented to ensure the safety of workers, residents, pedestrians, and road users.
