NEWCASTLE CYCLING SUCCESS STORIES AND CURRENT PROJECTS
SUCCESS STORIES
THE FERNELIGH TRACK
15km of walking and cycling path along the old rail corridor
Arguably the best path in Newcastle. It provides a safe off-road link between Lake Macquarie and Newcastle.
A scenic route through bushland and wetland areas.
GLENDALE TO WALLSEND TRAMWAY TRACK

CURRENT PROJECTS
#LOVE30 KM/H CAMPAIGN LAUNCHED IN NEWCASTLE!
We’re joining the United Nations road safety campaign #Love30.
We’re calling for 30km/h streets as a matter of urgency across school zones, residential streets and business streets (e.g. Darby Street).
HOW CAN YOU HELP? WE’RE ASKING FOR PHOTOS OF YOU HOLDING SIGNS ACROSS NEWCASTLE! CHOOSE A STREET NEAR YOU!
Step 1: Print off one of the two images.
Step 2: Take a picture holding the printed image on a Newcastle or Lake Macquarie street.
Step 3: Upload the photo to this facebook post with the hashtag #Love30 (or alternatively email your photos to matthew.mclaughlin@uon.edu.au)
We’ll be using the best photos and sharing them widely.
30km/h speed saves lives, improves liveability and supports local businesses. All without impacting overall journey times.
#Love30 is this years theme for the UN Road Safety week, which runs from the 17th-21st May 2021.
