Rationale:
The proposed route follows the Rainforest Walk from Evatt Park through CF Williams Reserve and along Salt Pan Creek foreshore. GLR 5 and GLR 6 allow for several kilometres of Georges River foreshore public access in the Hurstville LGA. The route follows a safe off road walking track linking with Bankstown trail system across the Henry Lawson Drive Bridge. |
