Georges River Way
Lower Reaches

LGA(s) - ROCKDALE & KOGARAH

Sub-section	Kogarah Bay	GLR 2
Start and finish	Captain Cook Bridge / Carss Bush Park (Carss Park)
Distance	5.0km
Grade	1-2
Main features	Kogarah Bay Carss Bush Park (Olympic pool) Carss Cottage Claydon Reserve Sans Souci Park (Olympic pool) Anderson Park
Description	Route mostly follows footpaths (3.0km) / off-road sections through parklands (2.0km)
Opportunities and constraints	Limited opportunities to increase public foreshore access - prohibitive land acquisition Unclear access under Captain Cook Bridge Speed of cyclists under-bridge dangerous San Souci Park, Claydon Reserve and Carss Bush Park and several small foreshore parks have good resting and Kogarah Bay vantage points No route marked through Sans Souci car park/poor safety No marked cycling shoulder - Vista Street and The Promenade Claydon Reserve - eroded seawall/footpaths and toilet block/car park - degraded Dangerous corner/intersection - Ramsgate Road and Vaudan St (need for cyclists to demount and walk on footpath) Kogarah Bay/Claydon Reserve stormwater damage requires integrated solution - Beverley Park Golf Course and soft engineering seawall alternative Opportunity to name Stormwater Channel flowing through Beverley Park and sign detailing stormwater impacts and links with Kogarah CBD ESD initiatives Opportunity to improve Kogarah Bay water quality with constructed wetlands along Kogarah Creek in Harold Fraser Reserve Educational signage - Kogarah Creek GPT No foreshore pathway through northern part of Carss Bush Park and no signs to Olympic Pool and Carss Cottage Tidal Baths repairs required Pathway link to Todd Park needs upgrading
Actions	RCC/KCC signage linking LGA's pathway networks RTA/KCC/RCC to sign and construct bicycle speed controls - Captain Cook Bridge underpass approaches KCC plan safe marked route through San Souci carpark KCC to mark on-road shoulder routes on local roads and sign accordingly KCC/RTA investigate cycle safety - Ramsgate/Vaudan intersection - consider boardwalk (linking Claydon Reserve and Park Rd) KCC - pathway and signage - Carss Bush Park and Claydon Reserve
Priority	B
Estimated cost	$95k
Key stakeholders	RCC/KCC/RTA/SW

Rationale:

The proposed route is an easy walking/cycling grade following existing paths through Sans Souci Park, Claydon Reserve and Carss Bush Park, using footpaths along Harris, Wellington, and Vista Street, The Promenade, Vaudan Street and Carlton Crescent. It avoids busy roads and permits good views of Kogarah Bay as well as providing links to several small foreshore parks and two Olympic swimming pools.
