BECOME A FOUNDING SPONSOR INTRODUCTION The Bondi to Manly Walk links all the existing coastal and harbourside walking tracks between Australia’s two most famous surf beaches, Bondi Beach and Manly Beach. For its entire length the Bondi to Manly Walk is on public land, with the vast majority of its 80kms on existing well-made and well-maintained bush walking tracks. It is the product of a collaboration between all six Councils along the Walk (City of Sydney, Mosman Council, North Sydney Council, Northern Beaches Council, Waverley Council and Woollahra Council); eight state agencies (Property New South Wales, the New South Wales Office of Environment and Heritage, Destination NSW, Roads and Maritime Services, Port Authority of NSW, Royal Botanic Gardens, Sydney Opera House, Taronga Zoo) and at the Federal level, the Sydney Harbour Federation Trust. The partnership to create the Bondi to Manly Walk was officially announced in Sydney on the 25 November 2018. We also have many community organisations supporting the establishment of the Walk including the La Perouse and Metropolitan Local Aboriginal Land Councils, the Walking Volunteers, the Committee for Sydney, and the Business Council of Australia.
