Foreshore Park FAQ's

Why are we closing the cycleway?
The cycleway will be temporarily closed to facilitate the construction of a brand-new foreshore park being developed at Sanctuary Wentworth Point by Sekisui House. The brand-new foreshore park will enhance the local community's recreational and green spaces, providing a more enjoyable environment for residents and visitors.

For how long will the cycleway be closed?

The Foreshore Park Application was lodged on 26th May 2022 and is currently under assessment by the City of Parramatta Council. We are awaiting Development Application (DA) approval to commence construction works. The timeline for reopening the cycle way is contingent upon receiving this approval and beginning construction.

We will keep you updated on any progress and aim to reopen the cycle way as soon as possible. Thank you for your understanding and continued support.

Is there an alternative route to access the cycleway along the foreshore?
To access Newington and Wentworth Point, please use the Louise Sauvage Pathway at the back of the Sanctuary site. This pathway will allow you to rejoin the cycleway to head into Newington as well as provide access to Hill Road, Wentworth Point.

The distance of the detour route from each of the closure points is approximately 1000m.

Please find the detour map below.

What are the opening and closing hours of the Parklands?
Dawn to Dusk. Gates into the Parklands are closed outside of these times.

Why can’t temporary access be maintained during construction?
The best approach for the community would be to expedite delivery of the foreshore park and ensure public open spaces is made available as soon as reasonable possible.

Temporary access measures would not only delay progress of works on-site but also pose serious risk to public health and safety.
