December 2022 update:
Consultation has closed on the Pipita Rail Trail project, and submissions are now being reviewed. Thank you to everyone who submitted feedback.
November 2022 consultation:
We want to know your ideas and feedback about our proposal for the Pippita Rail Trail project, an active transport link between Lidcombe to Sydney Olympic Park.
Council has received funding from the State Government under the NSW Get Active Program for the planning and design of the Pippita Rail Trail. The trail will be created by transforming an unused three kilometre rail line, that was once used to service the state brickworks, abattoirs and Homebush saleyards, which included the Flemington Goods Junction, Pippita, Metropolitan Meat Platforms and sales yards and Brickworks railway stations.
The Pippita Rail Trail is part of Council’s long term strategic vision for Cumberland. The project will help residents access parks and open spaces along the corridor. It will also provide an opportunity to cycle or walk directly from Lidcombe to Sydney Olympic Park and view interesting places and local history along the way. You can see the proposed trail on the map below, or download a copy from the document library.
We want your feedback:
During this community consultation period, residents are encouraged to read the proposal and then complete the survey.
You can also add places of interest along the proposed trail on our interactive map, and add comments or support on the points of interest added by others.
Submissions are open from Monday 21 November until 5pm Friday 16 December 2022.
