Outcome of 25 June 2019 Council Meeting

Councillors voted to approve a proposed 1.9km cycleway connecting South Coogee with Kingsford, however the matter will return to the next Council Meeting on 23 July 2019 after three Councillors lodged a rescission motion following the meeting. A rescission motion has the effect of suspending the decision until such time as Council can vote on whether to rescind the original decision.

Should the project proceed, Council would seek funding from the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS) to construct the cycleway. The project is part of Randwick Council’s bicycle strategy to improve walking and cycling options along Bundock St, Avoca St and Sturt St and to connect with the new light rail terminus and other bike paths to the UNSW, Centennial Park and the City CBD.
