Project Update - April 2012

Council contractors are currently undertaking geotechnical drilling works to progress the design of Stage 2B of the Narrabeen Lagoon Multi-Use Trail Project. The design will closely follow the preferred option adopted by Council last November 2011.

To facilitate drilling access, a number of trees need to be removed in South Creek Reserve. The clearing and drilling works will commence 23 April 2012 and should be completed within three (3) weeks. During this time access to the Reserve will be temporarily restricted.

Update - February 2012

In December 2011, the new Stage 1 trail between Deep and Middle Creek managed by Warringah Council won the prestigious NSW Minister for Planning and Infrastructure’s Sydney Greenspace Award. Since it’s opening in October 2011, the new Stage 1 trail and pedestrian/cyclist bridge over Deep Creek have proved very popular with the number of users increasing significantly over the summer.

Trail users are reminded that the Narrabeen Lagoon Trail adjacent to the Cromer Golf Club and Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation (Stage 2B) has not been constructed. It is due to be completed in 2014. Members of the public can access the existing 7.2 kilometres of the Narrabeen Lagoon Trail until this time.

Stage 2B - Past the Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation and the Cromer Golf Club

Stage 2B of the Narrabeen Lagoon Multi-use Trail is the most complex section of the trail in terms of planning and construction. The new trail needs to navigate past existing infrastructure on the foreshore of the Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation and the Cromer Golf Club.

The trail route, alignment and construction materials have yet to be determined and will be done through extensive analysis of all relevant factors, including landscaping, environmental, structural, geological conditions and stakeholder submissions.

Progression of this stage was made possible with the NSW Minister for Sport and Recreation's formal announcement in September 2008, in which Warringah Council gained approval to construct a trail through the Sydney Academy of Sport and Recreation.

Community Consultation for Stage 2B

Warringah Council values community input. There will be opportunities for the community to be involved in the planning of Stage 2B in early 2011. Council will publish a number of options for public comment and hold a community workshop to gain feedback.
