$3m project to help connect Farley with Maitland
Worth nearly $3 million and funded by a combination of Council’s Capital Works Program and developer contributions, the works will rehabilitate and widen the road surface of the busy Wollombi Road from Green Street, Telarah to Own Pen Lane, Farley.
In great news for cyclists and pedestrians, a brand new shared path along the eastern side of Wollombi Road will also provide a much safer alternative to driving for residents. This will include a 2.5m wide foot/cycle bridge across Stony Creek.
Farley is one of Maitland many fast growing suburbs, and Mayor Philip Penfold said these works are important to an expanding community.
‘Our infrastructure spend for this financial year is around $29.2 million and this project is worth around 10% of that, which shows Council understands how important it is to provide this type of infrastructure to improve access to and from Farley,’ Mayor Penfold said.
‘The shared pathway is particularly important as it helps diversify the transport options available to anyone who wants to get to or from Farley, and not limit people to having to rely on cars or public transport.
‘We know that there’s a growing need and desire for these types of infrastructure and improvements across Maitland and as a Council, we’re committed to exploring and delivering more of these projects in the future.’
Currently approaching the end of the Design phase in this project, Council expects to begin construction on these projects in late 2022 and conditions permitting, completed by June 2023.
