Bayside Council is busy constructing new footpaths and upgrading others across the LGA thanks to a $2.4 million grant from the Get NSW Active program run by Transport for New South Wales
“This is a very welcome boost to our footpath construction and maintenance schedule,” Bayside Mayor Dr Christina Curry said, “and has allowed us to progress a number of footpath projects much sooner than we anticipated.”
The Get NSW Active grant funding will be used for:
- 9 new footpaths
- 12 footpath widening projects
- 2 shared cycleway/footpath projects.
Construction is already underway in the following suburbs: Kingsgrove, Monterey, Pagewood, Ramsgate Beach, Sans Souci and Turrella.
Bayside Council’s annual footpath budget currently maintains over 637kms of footpath across the whole LGA and is prioritised on safety and usage.
