Topics

  • Woomera Reserve footpath extension misses NSW funding
    Council’s application for the Woomera Reserve footpath extension was unsuccessful under the Get NSW Active FY26/27 program.
    Residents may face a delay to a planned walking connection because no replacement funding was identified.
  • Kingsford to Centennial Park cycle project still needs construction funding
    The project is moving through detailed design, but Council will only seek construction funding after that work is complete.
    The update establishes a project milestone while confirming that construction is not yet funded.
  • Randwick to refresh bicycle route construction priorities this year
    Council plans to update the Bicycle Route Construction Priority 2015 list after it was not updated as previously intended in 2025.
    The revised list could influence which cycling routes receive attention and funding across the local government area.

Decisions

  • Woomera Reserve footpath funding application unsuccessful
    Council’s application for the Woomera Reserve footpath extension under the Get NSW Active FY26/27 program was unsuccessful.
    The proposed footpath extension will not receive funding from this program, and no replacement funding was identified in the minutes.
  • Future funding to be sought for Kingsford to Centennial Park project
    The project is progressing through detailed design and community consultation. Construction funding opportunities will be sought after the detailed design is completed.
    Construction is not yet funded, so delivery timing remains dependent on design completion and future funding.
  • Bicycle Route Construction Priority list to be updated
    Council confirmed that the Bicycle Route Construction Priority 2015 list is planned to be updated during 2026, with the work expected to commence shortly.
    Residents will receive a refreshed basis for prioritising future bicycle route construction.
  • Investigation into Central and South Ward bicycle connectivity continues
    Council provided an update on investigations into interim solutions for bicycle connectivity. Officers aim to report outcomes at the next committee meeting in November 2026.
    Residents may receive proposed interim connections or other options for improving bicycle access in the affected wards.

Discussion

  • Bicycle parking at major developments
    Following the redevelopment of the Prince of Wales Hospital, a representative raised concerns about limited public bicycle parking. Council said it is working with Planning colleagues to improve how bicycle parking is addressed in major developments.
    Future major developments may face closer consideration of bicycle parking provision, although no new requirement was adopted at this meeting.
  • Bondi Junction to Maroubra Junction cycling connection
    Council confirmed that the Active Transport Plan identifies a strategic connection between Bondi Junction and Maroubra Junction in the Cycling Network Plan. Avoca Street could be considered as part of that connection.
    The discussion signals a possible future strategic cycling link, but does not commit to construction on Avoca Street.
  • Anzac Parade walking and cycling project
    Council officers provided an update on the Anzac Parade project. The minutes do not record a new funding decision or construction timetable.
    The project remains under development and no immediate service or construction change was announced.

  • Construction of the Kingsford to Centennial Park walking and cycling improvements project remains subject to detailed design and future funding.
