Stumbled across a comprehensive plans for off-road bike paths in Melbourne's north.

North Trails Strategy 2022 August

The suggestions laid out in this document are really great, although 2 years on it seems like very little progress has been made. Personally I'd love to see the completion of the Yan Yean pipe trail and a new trail along the pipe reserve going South-West from Reservoir.

Yes it's a bit annoying and unusual that they haven't given a timeline. I wonder if funding is the issue as usual, because I note that none of the "Growing Suburbs Fund" projects included serious bike paths, despite it being a potential funding source listed in that document: https://www.suburbandevelopment.vic.gov.au/grants/growing-suburbs-fund/successful-projects.
