Zone 1
Existing zone overview
Zone 1 is the western limits of Gardiners Creek / Kooyongkoot – extending upstream from the confluence with the Yarra River / Birrarung to Glenferrie Road.
The zone is characterised by the dominance of engineering infrastructure – notably the Monash Freeway overpass (beneath which the Shared User Path is suspended) and the concrete channelisation of Gardiners Creek / Kooyongkoot.
Proposed concept design
The enhancement of Zone 1 is heavily dependent on advocacy to third parties, including Melbourne Water and VicRoads. The Masterplan Implementation concepts consider opportunities to enhance the user experience of existing infrastructure, as well as touching upon the potential to transform the existing infrastructure beneath the freeway.

Not keen on the indigenous art depictions. How about celebrating the broader community more.

can work be done to raise the path around flooding. An end to end goal across all zones should be a path that can handle reasonable rains.

Sound barriers stop on the Monash where the ovals in Zone 2 are, would be great to have them for the benefit of all park users and residents

Would love to have a connection to Heyington station from the shared path also linking to bridge over freeway to Kevin Barlet ovals

The path could be wider for sure. Don't see breakout spaces being over utilized in this area.

I ride my bike there everyday. The path could be wider. Looks great though!

Anna says:
I like the idea of separating bikes and pedestrians on this trail as the path is difficult to navigate as a cyclist due to how narrow it is
