Elwood Walks

Welcome to Elwood Walks. We are a Walking Action Group covering Elwood and surrounding neighbourhoods like Ripponlea and St Kilda East. New members and new ideas are always welcome- see information about the group and our current activities below.

About Elwood Walks:

Elwood is generally a good place to walk. However, there are some issues relating to the safety, convenience and comfort of walking which mean that it is not always the easiest or most enjoyable transport option for everyone. Our group is aiming to address some of these issues in order to create a better walking environment in our local neighbourhoods. This will encourage more people to swap their car for their feet and enjoy the health, environmental, social and economic benefits of walking!

Current campaigns:

Safer speed limit for Ripponlea commuters and shoppers- reduce the speed limit on the section of Glen Eira Road around the Ripponlea train station and local shopping centre from 60 km/h to 40 km/h.

** Elwood Walks is currently taking a break and going for a stroll! We'd love to continue our activities so please feel free to send us a message if you'd like to find out more.
