Works to upgrade the shared path along Liverpool Road, The Basin are underway. The new path will improve our local cycling network and help build better community connections.
Stage 1 works from Pavitt Lane, near the Knox boundary and heading south towards the retarding basin, are complete and include a new 300 metre long, wider, more accessible, shared path for pedestrians and cyclists to enjoy. It replaces the informal dirt path that posed a risk to pedestrians and cyclists given its close proximity to the road and fast-moving traffic.
The old guard rail has been moved to the edge of the road to make room for the new path. Fencing has also been added and an improved drainage system will help divert stormwater away from the nature strip and into the retarding basin and surrounding wetlands.
The Liverpool Road shared path project is being delivered in line with theme 1 of our Council and Health and Wellbeing Plan 2025 – 2029 , enhancing community connection to vital resources.
