West along Walder Road - under SW Freeway north along Nuwarra Road - through (planned) cycleway/walkway through Boral land - north to Newbridge Road - along Riverside Road - through Riverside Park - onto existing pathways around Chipping Norton Lake -South Park - Moore Lake pathways - potential to follow foreshore to Newbridge Road and Lighthorse Park. |
| Opportunities and constraints |
- Boral Master Plan - supports off-road cycleway/walkway through the site
- Boral land contains large area of remnant bushland - sensitive trail design required to conserve environmental values
- Riverland Park - sporting facilities and bushland areas
- Chipping Norton Lake - recreational, scenic and heritage values
- Moorebank industrial area opportunity to provide recreational pathway during redevelopment stage
- Moorebank/Chipping Norton area gets greatly improved access to foreshore and recreational facilities, potential for grand loop (20 km) with link through Kelso Park/ Ernie Smith Recreation Area -along Renton Av - to Boral development
|
| Actions |
- LCC - commission detailed planning of trail route
- LCC / TC - seek government corporate and sporting funds to build trail

Rationale:
The route links existing trails around Chipping Norton Lake (south side) and Lake Moore with planned trails through several large foreshore redevelopment sites that are currently being master planned by Liverpool City Council. The route maximises the recreational and environmental opportunities flowing from these redevelopments.
It also creates subregional trail network servicing Moorebank and Chipping Norton - mostly off-road, safe, easy grades, which respect environmentally sensitive areas. It provides several kilometres of foreshore access, could become a major sustainable transport network, and gives a clear focus for directing future bush regeneration and environmental restoration projects. |
