Awarded $1 Million to Complete Missing Link in Grange Lakes Corridor
We are pleased to announce that we have been awarded $1 million in funding to complete a crucial missing link in the Grange Lakes Corridor Shared Use Path. This funding, provided by the Minister for Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development, and Local Government, will enable the construction of an 800-metre pedestrian and cycle path running alongside Chambers Street through Don Ferguson Memorial Reserve, connecting to Atkin Street in Henley Beach.
This investment will support the completion of the 5.5-kilometre shared-use path, allowing residents and visitors to walk, cycle, or push a pram from West Lakes to Henley Beach. Along the way, it will improve connectivity to shops, four local schools, the Henley and Grange Memorial Oval sports precinct, and the rail line into the city and beyond along the coast.
We have been working on the entire stretch of this pathway since 2017. This funding ensures the final link can now be delivered, providing a safer, more accessible, and connected route for all.
Mayor Angela Evans welcomed the announcement, stating:
"This funding allows us to complete a missing link in the Grange Lakes Corridor. By delivering this final section, we’re not only improving safety and accessibility for pedestrians and cyclists but also supporting a more active and connected community. We’re excited to see this much-loved corridor continue to grow and benefit our residents for years to come."
