Monash University (Clayton campus)
About this page
This university has never been easy to get to by bike.
From the north it can be approached on the Scotchman's Creek path and then via bike lanes on Forster Road to the local streets around the Uni. (Mel 70 E6)
October 06 - There is some good news now for riders approaching from the CBD, Oakleigh and surrounds.
Peter Bachelor has just announced that VicRoads will fund an off road link from Huntingdale Train Station to Monash University along the median of North Road. The route will give students and staff a direct route from Oakleigh in the west. Riders will be able to reach the end of the path by train or from Oakleigh South using the path alongside the Huntingdale Golf Club.
The picture above shows part of the draft concept for North Road. Monash University Bicycle User Group have been instrumental in developing the concept and campaing with Bicycle Victoria for the link.
If you have ridden on St George's Road in Northcote you will have experienced a bike route running down the median. For those who haven't, this is what it looks like.
You can download a draft concept plan which shows the route starting at Huntingdale Road overpass and running along the North Road median to Clayton Road. The route then leaves the median and runs through to the entrance to the Uni.
Train and bike commuters to the Uni will be able to leave the train at the Zone One station of Huntingdale and get themselves easily to the front gate of the Uni.
Support the people who support your bike riding. Join Bicycle Victoria.
