The Finlaysons Creek Trail is moving into the next stages of design and construction following community consultation, as City of Parramatta Council endorsed the final concept designs for Stages 2 and 3 of the Trail at its meeting on 10 August 2026.
The links will improve access to open space, strengthen connections between local neighbourhoods as well as Parramatta and Cumberland, as well as providing safer and more enjoyable active transport options. The updated design includes new amenities such as seating, water bubbler, bike parking, a bike repair station and increased environmental planting and landscaping.
Council also endorsed writing to the NSW Government requesting their support in investigating safety improvements for pedestrians and cyclists crossing Darcy Road at Briens Road.
Thank you to everyone who provided feedback. The Council report and minutes for the Ordinary Meeting on 10 August 2026 can be found here. Please refer to Item 12.1.
