Chapter Three

Captain Cook Bridge (Taren Point) / Kareela Oval (Princes Highway)

• Gwawley Park
• Sylvania Heights Reserve
• Sporting Facilities (football, athletics, netball, hockey)
• Sylvania Waters historic oyster channels

3.0 km along (former) F6 Freeway Corridor, 1.5 km on-road along Garnet Road shoulder

• F6 Corridor is the subject of a NSWTransport study to consider options for "active transport", including shared use pathway
• Associated landscaping and bush regeneration have the potential to contribute SSC's Greenweb Program (protecting core bushland habitats through linkages, corridors and buffers)
• Gwawley Park/Sylvania Waters - opportunities for mangrove wetlands and remnant saltmarsh habitat restoration, also interpretation of historic oyster farming channels ("clairs")
• Salt Marsh is an endangered ecological community - sensitive route planning required, including boardwalk solutions
• Link with existing cycleway along Princes Highway (Georges River Bridge/ Waterfall) via Garnet Road, but no safe crossing at present over Port Hacking Road
• Several existing businesses affected by F6 corridor proposals including 2 nurseries, 1 caravan park and a golf course

• Department of Transport/SSC master plan and construct shared use walkway/cycleway along F6 Corridor
• SSC and RTA consider options for pedestrian bridge or pelican crossing at intersection of Port Hacking Road and Paraweena Road
• SSC sign intersections at Captain Cook Bridge and Princes Highway
