Policy challenges

Over the term, the group will deliberate on the following policy challenges and report back to Council every six months on the progress.

• The GreenWay is a revolutionary environmental and active travel corridor linking the Cooks River at Earlwood with the Parramatta River at Iron Cove. How can we leverage this active transport superhighway to assist in decreasing car dependency for short trips in our communities? What links can we identify that will enable safe routes for connecting to schools, public transport and shops?
• What are the 5 Inner West priority cycle links? What are the obstacles that could potentially delay delivery and how can we overcome them?
