Rationale:
The proposed route follows local roads, walking tracks and the Georges River Parkway corridor. It avoids impacting on steep foreshores of the upper Georges River. It provides access to the Georges River at Kentlyn Reserve and the Woolwash. Links with other trails are: Peter Meadows Creek and Smith's Creek. Future spurs to the Georges River could be planned in consultation with the community. |
