Spit Bridge to Manly (Manly Scenic Walkway) Spit Bridge to Manly (Manly Scenic Walkway) 3 h 15 min to 3 h 45 min 3 9.2 km ↑ 281 m Moderate track One way ↓ 300 m The Spit to Manly walk is a classic bushwalk on Sydney's Northern Beaches. The walk follows a well-maintained track and provides beautiful views over Middle Harbour. This walk is great for those looking for exercise or just a stroll along the shoreline of Sydney Harbour. If you have time, the sidetrips down to Grotto Point and up to Arabanoo Lookout are definitely worth the effort. There are also a few places to get a bite to eat along the way.

  • Western Harbour Tunnel & Warringah Freeway Upgrade
    NSW Major Projects NSW Government 30th March, 2020. Dear Sir or Madame, RE: Western Harbour Tunnel & Warringah Freeway Upgrade I am writing in support of Bike North and their submission on the Western Harbour Tunnel & Warringah Freeway Upgrade.i Bicycle NSW has been the peak bicycle advocacy group now in NSW for over forty-three years, and has over 30 affiliated local Bicycle User Groups, including Bike North. Bicycle NSW exists to create a better environment for all bicycle riders and our advocacy is guided by three policy pillars to achieve this namely: Build it for Everyone: cycling infrastructure should be built suitable for all riders, and we say ‘from 8-80’ as a reminder that children through to elders should all be able to use it independently Safe Home: because everyone deserves to arrive home safely and laws, regulation and enforcement need to support this Invest Now for Health: calls for government to recognise the importance of investment in safe cycling to address the rising impact of inactivity on human health Bicycle NSW agrees with and supports the objections of Bike North to the proposal on the basis that: The proposal would entrench private, environmentally damaging transport at the expense of public and active transport The EIS fails to provide a full detailed business case to support this proposal over public transport investment The project fails to include delivery of the North Shore Cycleway as part of the project or at least the section between Naremburn and the Sydney Harbour Bridge. This directly contradicts Sydney’s Cycling Future (NSW Government, Dec 2013) that requires that the ‘needs of people on bike be included throughout the planning of new and upgraded road projects’, and that ‘bicycle facilities be identified and delivered parallel to major transport corridors’.

  • Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade - EIS SSI 8863
    25 March 2019 File No: 2020/065301 Naomi Moss Contact Planner Department of Planning, Industry and Environment 4 Parramatta Square 12 Darcy Street Parramatta NSW 2150 Via: NSW Planning Portal Dear Naomi Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade - EIS SSI_8863 Thank you for the opportunity to provide comments on the Environmental Impact Statement for the Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway Upgrade State Significant Infrastructure Project. The key points that the City of Sydney wishes to raise are provided in the following pages. Should you wish to speak with a Council officer about the above, please contact Elise Webster, Manager Transport Major Projects on 9265 9333 or at [email protected] Yours sincerely, Graham Jahn AM Director City Planning I Development I Transport 2 Introduction The City of Sydney (the City) has been a long-time critic of WestConnex. This is primarily because this costly motorway project will fail in its primary objective of easing congestion. Urban motorways do not solve congestion; they induce demand for motor vehicle trips and any additional capacity created is quickly filled. This phenomenon applies equally to the Western Harbour Tunnel and Warringah Freeway (the WHT) Project, a component of the WestConnex expansion. The number of vehicles entering the city from the north and the Roselle area is currently limited by the capacity of the Sydney Harbour Bridge and the Anzac Bridge. These bridges also accommodate traffic which bypasses the CBD. When six separate bypass lanes are provided as part of the WHT project there will then be additional capacity on the Harbour Bridge and Anzac Bridge to access the CBD by vehicle.

  • Native Plants of Sydney Harbour National Park: Historical Records and Species Lists, and Their Value for Conservation Monitoring
    Native plants of Sydney Harbour National Park: historical records and species lists, and their value for conservation monitoring Doug Benson National Herbarium of New South Wales, Royal Botanic Gardens, Mrs Macquaries Rd, Sydney 2000 AUSTRALIA [email protected] Abstract: Sydney Harbour National Park (lat 33° 53’S; long 151° 13’E), protects significant vegetation on the harbour foreshores close to Sydney City CBD; its floristic abundance and landscape beauty has been acknowledged since the writings of the First Fleet in 1788. Surprisingly, although historical plant collections were made as early as1802, and localised surveys have listed species for parts of the Park since the 1960s, a detailed survey of the flora of whole Park is still needed. This paper provides the first definitive list of the c.400 native flora species for Sydney Harbour National Park (total area 390 ha) showing occurrence on the seven terrestrial sub-regions or precincts (North Head, South Head, Dobroyd Head, Middle Head, Chowder Head, Bradleys Head and Nielsen Park). The list is based on historical species lists, records from the NSW Office of Environment and Heritage (formerly Dept of Environment, Climate Change and Water) Atlas, National Herbarium of New South Wales specimen details, and some additional fieldwork. 131 species have only been recorded from a single precinct site and many are not substantiated with a recent herbarium specimen (though there are historical specimens from the general area for many). Species reported in the sources but for which no current or historic specimen exists are listed separately as being of questionable/non-local status.
