The Blue Mountains Active Transport Links Program aims to improve our streets, with safe and sustainable links between key destinations and towns across the Blue Mountains.
About this project
Council has secured funding to deliver a new pathway between the Great Western Highway and Lincolns Rock Reserve at Wentworth Falls.
The pathway was identified in the Lincolns Rock Locality Plan, adopted in May 2026, as a priority project to provide a clearer walking route to the reserve while supporting the long-term management of this environmentally and culturally sensitive area. The proposal is not intended to encourage increased visitation to the site.
Subject to community consultation, approvals and site conditions, construction is planned for completion by June 2027.
Council adopted the Lincolns Rock Locality Plan in response to increasing public safety, environmental, traffic and residential amenity impacts associated with growing visitation. The site will remain temporarily closed until 30 November 2026 while Council implements priority actions under the plan, including this pathway and additional traffic management and safety improvements in the precinct.
Community consultation
In August 2026, Council released concept designs for the pathway and invited the community to provide feedback on the proposed pathway alignment, surface treatments and shared zone works, with the feedback received, along with further technical assessments, approvals and review by Transport for NSW, being used to refine the designs as the project progresses.
