Shared path construction update

23 September 2025

The Factory Road shared path project is on track to be completed by the end of the year.

  • A new footpath running from the corner of Factory Road and Bundarra Road to Factory Road Reserve is complete.
  • Pathways along Spencer Street and Loftus Street are almost finished, with some minor work and line marking still to be completed.
  • Two pedestrian crossings have been built along Spencer Street.

Now, we are working on:

  • Installing drainage, kerb and guttering along Factory Road.
  • Building a retaining wall along Cross Street before the path is laid.

What’s still to come?

  • Two raised pedestrian crossings along Factory Road, at the Bundarra Road and Loftus Street intersections.
  • Road pavement improvements.
  • Lighting at pedestrian crossings.
  • Tree planting and landscaping.

The Factory Road shared path project is funded by the NSW Government’s Get NSW Active Program and Council.
