New shared-use footpaths are also set to be poured during the coming month, providing improved accessibility for pedestrians, cyclists and families alike. Once complete, the project will create an important new link for the Virginia community, enhancing connectivity and encouraging active transport options throughout the township. For Virginia Grove residents, the upgraded road and shared-use path network will provide a safe and easy route to the Virginia town centre, local shops and surrounding community facilities, further strengthening the lifestyle benefits of living within our award-winning community.
