Rationale:
The proposed route would be safe and off-road, with easy grades. It links Lighthorse Park to the Casula Powerhouse Arts Centre (3 km along GR foreshore) and the RTA's proposed Rail Trail to Glenfield Station. It also brings people back to neglected areas and provides an excellent recreational network close to growing population centres of Liverpool, Casula and Glenfield.
There is a potential for building a pedestrian bridge over Georges River from Casula Powerhouse to Chatham Village - with a trail link north to Newbridge Road Bridge and Lighthorse Park which should be considered in the future as redevelopment opportunities emerge. |
