Sutherland to Cronulla Off-Road Cycleway Route Study
A feasability study for an east-west cycleway link between Sutherland and Cronulla.
In 2006, the council saw an opportunity to develop an east-west cycleway link between Sutherland and Cronulla through the Sutherland to Cronulla Rail Duplication. Both the council and the community have actively lobbied the NSW Government, expressing the need and support for the construction of a shared cycleway/pedestrian path along the rail corridor between Sutherland and Cronulla.
In response, the Government has funded a feasibility study, which was completed this year.
The Sutherland to Cronulla Off-Road Cycleway Route Study followed and identified a number of alternative off-road route options. These includedthe Rail Corridor, the Kingsway, President Avenue and Forest Road. Of these four options, the rail corridor option best satisfied the key objectives and drew the greatest community consultation and stakeholder support.
Following the release of the study report in 2010, the council is formally seeking NSW Government commitment to construct a shared cycleway path along the rail corridor between Sutherland and Cronulla.
