Cooranbong shared pathway

About the project

We’re making it easier to access play spaces in Cooranbong.

In 2027,we’ll upgrade car parking along Freemans Drive at Cooranbong Town Common and start construction of a new shared pathway connecting the common to the Kurnell Close and Babers Road intersection.

As part of the project, existing unsealed car parking around the playground and amenities will be sealed and line marked to improve vehicle access and safety.The new shared pathway will improve pedestrian and cycle access and connect with the existing shared pathway on Freemans Drive, which provides access through to the town centre.

Construction will be completed in two stages:

  • Stage One: Car park improvements and shared pathway construction across Cooranbong Town Common to the amenities

  • Stage Two: Shared pathway construction from the amenities to the Kurnell Close and Babers Road intersection.

The designs include access ramps and construction of a pedestrian refuge to enable safe crossing at Martinsville Road, and a proposed pedestrian crossing across Babers Road to Kurnell Close.

You're invited to review our designs for the new shared pathway and share your feedback on the proposed design before 11 September 2026.

The bigger picture

We’re upgrading shared pathways across Greater Morisset to help connect our community – whether you’re on foot, using pedal power or other kinds of active transport. 

The Greater Morisset area (encompassing Morisset, Cooranbong and Wyee) is experiencing significant growth, which is expected to continue in the years ahead. 

We know these growing communities need access to active transport infrastructure, like shared pathways, if they’re going to leave the car at home and choose to walk or cycle to access everyday services and activities.
