25 year campaign

Yarra Bicycle User Group campaigned for the steps to be replaced since 2005, which has been a 25 year journey. In 2017, Parks Victoria announced a project to replace the steps with a ramp. In 2020, Parks Victoria announced that they had developed a ‘functional design’ of a ramp to replace the steps. It was delivered at the end of 2025.
