Completed: May 2024
We’ve been enhancing Seaford Wetlands by preserving and protecting this precious asset, while sensitively upgrading community facilities.
One of the ways we've done this is by building a new pedestrian and cycling bridge across Kananook Creek (near the Melbourne Water pumping station on Palm Beach Drive) to ‘close the loop’ around the wetlands and reduce access to protected areas.
The 36m bridge has wooden cladding – a feature selected by the community during the Seaford Wetlands Rejuvenation Project two-stage consultation process in 2022 and in early 2023.
The bridge also features lighting and CCTV cameras, in accordance with safety requirements.
In 2025, the bridge will connect to a new section of shared user path along the northern embankment of Kananook Creek (behind Palm Beach Drive). This work is being undertaken by the City of Kingston.

This project is part of the $5 million Seaford Wetlands Rejuvenation Project which is funded through Victorian Government’s $315 million Suburban Parks Program.
