We've been constructing a shared use path for pedestrians and cyclists between the lake in West Lakes and the River Torrens outfall channel.

The project aligns paths through open space areas next to the Grange Lakes drainage channel, along the creek next to Kirkcaldy Reserve, through linear reserves near Cudmore Terrace and next to the Henley & Grange Memorial Oval before winding its way through local streets to the River Torrens.

This corridor is mentioned in several of our strategic documents, including the Open Space Strategy, the Strategy for Walking & Cycling and the Corporate Plan.

The shared paths are 2.5 metres wide. This makes them a safe, accessible, all-weather off-road route for cyclists, school children, parents with prams and the mobility impaired.

We've upgraded the paths with public lighting, safety barrier fencing and new crossings over streets.

Stage 1 and 2
Between Trimmer Parade and Grange Railway line, were completed in 2014/15.

Stage 6
Construction works through Colin Sellars Reserve (between Grange Road and Marlborough Street) were completed in 2017/18. These works involved construction of a new 2.5 metre wide reinforced concrete path and installation of new LED public lighting and planting of new trees.

Future Stages
Stage 7 - Marlborough Street to North Street (through Don Ferguson Reserve) is currently in detailed design phase with consultation planned for late 2023.
Stage 8 - North Street to Atkin Street (through Chambers Reserve & Henley & Grange Memorial Reserve) is currently in detailed design phase with consultation planned for late 2023.
Stage 9 - Atkin Street to Henley Beach Road along Cudmore Terrace is planned for construction in late 2023/early 2024 with expected completion of March 2024.

First round of consultation for these stages has occurred.
