River Walkway Bridge open

Published on 11 December 2019

Stage two of the Wollondilly River Walkway is now completed, with the elevated bridge linking Kenmore Street to the section behind Tully Park Golf Club now open.

The elevated bridge provides spectacular views, while also linking the two stages of the walkway, bringing the total length of the track to over 4.5kms.

Solar lighting has recently been installed along the entire length of the walkway, while two installations commissioned by the Goulburn Regional Art Gallery are also now complete, sparking conversations by the river.

“The Wollondilly Walkway has been a huge success for Goulburn and with the addition of a new bridge and solar lighting it will attract many more people, locals and visitors, to enjoy the track,” said Angus Taylor, Federal Member for Hume.

“We continue to receive such positive feedback on all of the work done by the Wollondilly River which is fantastic” said Mayor Bob Kirk.

“It’s a space for everyone to enjoy, and links to Riverside Park along with future planned stages will continue to make it accessible to everyone.”

State Member for Goulburn, Wendy Tuckerman said the $400 million Stronger Country Communities fund is a once-in-a-generation investment, part of the NSW Government’s $1.7 billion Regional Growth Fund. 

“Grants like these are supporting local business and tradies, putting local suppliers to work and providing opportunities for our regional businesses.

“The Wollondilly Walking Track is a wonderful community asset and will be enjoyed by residents for many years to come.”

Stage two was funded through the Federal Government Building Better Regions Fund ($937,147) and the NSW Government Stronger Country Communities Fund ($363,417).

An official opening of Stage Two of the Wollondilly River Walkway is planned to take place in early February 2020. This will coincide with Parkrun, and include a free BBQ breakfast. More details will be released as soon as a date is booked in.
