Ocean Grove residents are now better connected thanks to the ongoing delivery of new footpaths under the Ocean Grove Principal Pedestrian Network.

To date, around eight kilometres of footpaths have been completed, with the eastern side of Sunset Strip recently finished and Eccles Road next on the works schedule.

The project is creating a safer, more accessible network of pathways that link key destinations such as schools, shops, and community facilities across Ocean Grove. With summer holiday crowds arriving soon, construction will pause from mid-December 2025 and resume in early February 2026.

Thank you for your patience while these important improvements are underway.

They’re helping create a safer, more connected community for everyone.

Connewarre Ward Councillor Elise Wilkinson

We’re proud to have already delivered about eight kilometres of new footpaths in Ocean Grove.

These paths are helping people move around more safely and easily, whether they’re walking to school, the shops, or just enjoying the neighbourhood.

The footpath has been great for the business and the area, it has enabled people to walk to the cafe from surrounding streets, improved access for elderly and made it a lot safer for pedestrians along the street.

We have definitely noticed an increase in people walking to the cafe instead of driving.

So many of our customers have commented on how great it is to finally have a footpath that connects from the beach all the way to our cafe and the nearby shopping centre and retirement villages.
