| Sub-section |
| Start and finish |
Milperra Bridge to Lansdowne Bridge |
| Distance |
5.5km |
| Grade |
2-3 |
| Main features |
- Mirambeena Regional Park/ Shortland Brush
- Garrison Point / Beatty Reserve
- Lake Gillawarna / Kentucky Reserve
|
| Description |
Trail route goes through Kentucky Reserve linking to existing network at Garrison Point and on through Mirambeena Reserve to Lansdowne Bridge. |
| Opportunities and constraints |
- This section links with FCC trail network to the north of Lansdowne Bridge extending through Holroyd to Prospect Reservoir
- Kentucky Reserve is degraded with good bush regeneration opportunities
- Potential pedestrian bridge at Garrison Point to Chipping Norton Lakes and Liverpool CBD
- BCC Planning shared use bridge over Henry Lawson Drive from Mirambeena to Amaroo Reserve - avoids impact on CPW and improves access link with the velodrome and regional cycleway
- More sustainable management of foreshores park system - avoid woodchip weed infestations
- Regional recreational opportunities are expanded - links to school and sports facilities can be planned and constructed
|
| Actions |
- BCC - construct trail through Kentucky Reserve using best practice sustainable building materials
- Bush care groups - identify bush regeneration projects
- RTA/ BCC/ FCC/ TC - investigate feasibility and cost of pedestrian bridge linking Garrison Point and Lansvale
- BCC/ BBS/ bush regenerators - educational signage along this regional walk/cycleway

Rationale:
The proposed route follows the foreshores of Georges River and Prospect Creek along 5.5 kms of safe off-road trails. There is great potential for bush regeneration and riverbank restoration at Kentucky Reserve. A pedestrian bridge at Garrison Point would link with the existing and planned trail networks of Fairfield and Liverpool and Holroyd local government areas and Chipping Norton Lake (north side), creating an outstanding regional recreational network of shared use walkways and cycleways and would help to reduce anti-social activities in the Lansvale open space areas. |
