The final section of the missing 600m link between Cowpasture Rd and the new Camden Valley Way shared parth was laid on Monday

I would like to again thank Dr Andrew McDonald  the local member, RTA and the Minister for Roads and Ports for their prompt action to resolve this issue.

After the recent completion of road widening works on Camden Valley Way at Horningsea Park the new shared path was not linked to the existing shared path Cowpasture Road.

After an approach to Dr Andrew McDonald  the local member of State Parliament,  which he referred to the Hon. Duncan Gay MLC Minister for Roads and Ports the construction of the missing 700meters of shared path has now commenced. See photos attached.
