Sydney Harbour Scenic Walk

A DRAFT strategy for the Development of a Sydney Harbour Scenic Walk has been prepared and is available on the discussion forum for you to read and comment on. http://sydneyharbourpom.net.au/POMforum

The strategy looks at providing a seamless route along the foreshores of the harbour from south head to north head for all users regardless of land tenure. The settings range from tranquil bushland to the promenade of the Sydney Opera House and forms part of the 'Great Coastal Walk' stretching from Barrenjoey Headland in the north to Royal National Park in the south.

Please review the strategy and go to the discussion forum which has been set up for your comments.
