This is one of the many improvements we’re fast-tracking across local shopping strips and activity centres to help create more welcoming, vibrant places for people to enjoy.

What is happening?

We are replacing uneven and broken sections of the footpath surface on both sides of Centre Road, Bentleigh, between Rose Street and Jasper Road. 

To support a greener Glen Eira, where possible, we use sustainable and environmentally friendly resources and processes as part of our projects. In these upgrades, we’re using a recycled asphalt for the footpath surface, which incorporates crushed concrete, recycled asphalt and glass.

When is it happening?

These works will take two weeks to complete from Sunday 27 July to Sunday 10 August, weather permitting.

Most of the works will take place overnight to minimise impacts to traders and visitors to Centre Road. Works will take place between 7pm and 5.30am, Sunday to Thursday nights.

Some paving works need to take place during the day. This will occur between 7am and 4pm weekdays.

What are the impacts?

There will be no impacts to visitors accessing any of the businesses along the street during the works.

The footpath on both sides of Centre Road will remain open during the works. However, specific sections where works are being undertaken will be closed off while we complete the works. Please follow the onsite signage when travelling through the area. 

There will be some dust and noise but our contractors will do their best to minimise it.

Kerbside waste collections will continue as usual. There will be no road closures. Our contractors will need to use some on-street parking spaces.
