The Djerring Trail is a 17-kilometre shared path for commuters, pedestrians and cyclists, built as part of the Caulfield to Dandenong Level Crossing Removal Project initiated by the Victorian Government. The continuous route from Caulfield to the EastLink Trail connects cycle and walking paths that run through transport interchanges and community ‘activation nodes’, connecting several suburbs through linear parks. Designed by ASPECT Studios and COX Architecture, the Djerring Trail was conceived to improve public amenity and make use of underutilised or redundant public spaces around Melbourne’s busiest rail corridor. Spanning Melbourne’s south-eastern suburbs, the project elevated the existing rail line, removing nine ground-level crossings in the process and opening a previously underutilised realm to create new opportunities for community use and connection. The trail is considered one of Victoria’s largest public infrastructure projects in recent history, unlocking the potential of the land and transforming it into vital open space for public use.
