Queens Ave and Djerring Trail Cycling & Pedestrian Connection

Overview Glen Eira City Council is seeking a contractor to improve the connection between the Queens Avenue path and the Djerring Trail, to make the connection safer for pedestrians and cyclists. About The Djerring Trail is a popular walking and bike-riding route in the northern part of Glen Eira. In December 2024, Council built a new path on the western side of Queens Avenue, which has been well used by people walking and riding bikes. However, the connection between the two is currently difficult to navigate, and both the community and Council officers have identified safety issues. Purpose Council has developed a new design to make the connection between Queens Avenue path and Djerring Trail clearer, safer and more intuitive. This project is part of Council's Improving Paths, Connecting Communities program, jointly funded with the Australian Government through its Active Transport Fund.
