Rewilding Stonnington has been exploring The Walks Projects, larger-scale feeder catchment, habitat and public amenity projects along the Sandringham and Glen Waverley rail corridors since 2021, in consultation with other local groups, land manager and Traditional Owners and Elders. With support from immediate past MP for Higgins, Dr Michelle Anandah-Rajah, funding has been secured from the Australian Government’s Urban Rivers and Catchments program for what is now Regenerate! 2025-2027.
Regenerate! South Yarra to Windsor: Two selected pilot sites on Council land will initiate a proposed biodiversity and access corridor from South Yarra to Windsor. This in turn forms part of the Green Link Alliance proposal for the Sandringham railway corridor (Yarra River/Birrarung to Elster Creek).
Regenerate! Kooyong to Yarra River/Birrarung: Two selected pilot sites on Council and Melbourne Water land will initiate a proposed biodiversity and access corridor from Kooyong to the Yarra River/Birrarung, via Heyington.
In future years we hope to extend both Walks routes in collaboration with land managers, Traditional Custodians and our community partners PECAN (Port Phillip Emergency Climate Action Network), GECAN (Glen Eira Climate Action Network), the KooyongKoot Alliance and The Yarra Link Project.
