Stage 1 of works is proudly funded by the NSW Government through the Public Spaces Legacy Program and Places to Roam Program.

We are seeking additional funding to complete the remaining stages of works.

Stage 1 construction is anticipated to begin mid 2025, subject to the outcomes of the second round of community consultation, approvals, contractor availability and weather conditions.

Stage 1 will occur in phases over 6 months, weather permitting.

While some exotic trees will need to be removed to accommodate the shared paths, we’re taking this opportunity to replace them with locally occurring native species that are better suited to the environment and offer long-term benefits for biodiversity and ecosystem health.

We’re not just replacing trees, we are substantially increasing the overall canopy. Additional trees are funded by the Special Variation to Rates 2025/26.

There will be minimal impact to on-street parking, as the shared-user path will be constructed within the road reserve. However, to ensure safer intersections and maintain adequate sight lines, some localised reductions in on-street parking will occur immediately around the new pedestrian crossings, in line with statutory requirements.

Street lighting will be provided by Ausgrid in accordance with Australian standards. Temporary street lighting will be installed at the crossing facilities until the permanent lighting is in place.

We understand the difficulty of completing work without causing disruptions, especially during bad weather. We will work closely with the contractors to minimise temporary impacts on traffic, pedestrians, noise, and dust.

To minimise traffic impacts during the day, some operations will be scheduled for nighttime. We will notify neighbouring properties before night work takes place.

Residents along the corridor will receive direct communication from the contractors with additional details prior to the commencement of any work.
