Consultation has concluded

Background

Over the last two years, Canterbury-Bankstown Council has been working with the community and key agencies on the development of corridor plans for our priority green grid corridors. These priority corridors spread across multiple stakeholders/ landowners including NSW National Parks and Wildlife Service, Transport for NSW, Sydney Water and neighbouring Councils. The priority corridors Council has been working on are:

  • Cooks River Corridor
  • Sydenham-Bankstown Corridor (This Plan applies to Canterbury-Bankstown LGA of the corridor)
  • Wolli Creek Corridor

The COVID-19 pandemic has clearly demonstrated the importance our community places on access to open place and recreation facilities. With an increase in people accessing our parks and bushland, a greater demand for high quality open spaces and a reconnection with our local environment, these plans represent our vision for each corridor.

This work has been supported by the Department of Planning, Industry and Environment through the Metropolitan Greenspace Program in order to help Council’s deliver on the vision of the Government Architect New South Wales (GANSW) for a network of high-quality green spaces known as the Sydney Green Grid.

This proposal

The Corridor Plans provide recommendations for improved recreation, accessibility, ecology, culture and lifestyle. These recommendations were developed based on the engagement undertaken in April 2021 as well as by working closely with Government stakeholders, partner Councils and subject area experts.

High priorities for each priority corridor are as follow:

Cooks River Corridor

  • Conserve and enhance the natural environment along the River in collaboration with key stakeholders.
  • Create safe walking and cycling environments for all users through improved wayfinding and supporting amenity.

Sydenham-Bankstown Corridor

  • Improve the quality of open space to support growth along the future Metro line in collaboration with key stakeholders.
  • Create improved active transport connections along the corridor through safe, well planned links while celebrating local culture.

Wolli Creek Corridor

  • Protect the natural environment and maintain natural walking paths in collaboration with key stakeholders.
  • Improve active transport connections into and within the park for improved experience.
  • Improve wayfinding and educational signage.
