Council will investigate the financial implications and feasibility of constructing a shared pedestrian and bicycle path beneath the Wolli Creek bridge to connect Discovery Point Park and Cahill Park.

The project could help improve safety by reducing the need for pedestrians and cyclists to cross the busy Princes Highway, while improving connectivity between recreational spaces.

Council will also explore funding opportunities including state and federal grants that could support the project’s implementation.

A report including with findings, recommendations, funding sources and timelines for implementation will be presented at a future Council Meeting.

Mayor Edward McDougall said

“It is important that Council investigate the opportunity for improving safety especially for those trying to cross busy highways and access our recreational spaces,” Mayor Edward McDougall said.
