Hawthorn to Box Hill Trail 

The Victorian government has designated the Hawthorn to Box Hill Trail a Strategic Cycling Corridor that will:

• support the needs of commuter trips (to work or education) and other important transport trips such as to stations, shops or schools. 

• link up important destinations including central Melbourne city, employment and activity centres and other destinations of metropolitan and regional significance. 

• provide connections with the Main Yarra Trail in Richmond, the Anniversary Trail in Canterbury, the Box Hill to Ringwood Trail and the Yarra Valley trail network.

The Hawthorn to Box Hill Trail will also: 

• enable students from over twenty schools and Swinburne University to ride safely to school.

• encourage many people to cycle and walk who currently don't and greatly improve safety for those who already do.

• provide a safe path free from vehicles where children can learn to ride and families can go for recreational bike and walking trips.

More people riding bikes and walking will reduce traffic congestion on roads, reduce pollution and carbon emissions and provide safe and healthy travel for local communities.

Every person on a bike is one less car on our increasingly busy roads.

Hawthorn to Box Hill Trail NOW

Hawthorn to Box Hill Trail Now is a community group focussed on getting the Hawthorn to Box Hill Trail built.

We seek bipartisan support from all stakeholders for this shared path that will encourage more people of all ages to cycle and walk within our community and greatly improve safety for those who already do.

Please sign our new petition  asking decision makers in the Victorian government to provide funding for the design and construction of the Hawthorn the Box Hill Trail now.
