A new concrete shared pathway will be constructed along the western side of Mahony Avenue (next to the golf course) between Kent Street and Bridge Street.

The proposed Mahony Avenue shared path will form part of a 3km recreational loop around the Tamworth Golf Course and will cater to both cyclists and pedestrians.

This project was one of many identified in Council’s adopted Active Transport Strategy, which was on community consultation from 20 April - 18 May 2021 and adopted on 27 July 2021. The Active Transport Strategy aims to create links in the active transport infrastructure around Tamworth which allow residents to safely walk and cycle around our city, reducing traffic congestion and improving community health and wellbeing as Tamworth grows.

These new shared paths have been made possible by the NSW Government’s $3.284 million Walking and Cycling Program developed in mid-2018. Walking and Cycling is comprised of a three-year plan to complete most of the “missing links” in our existing cycling network, with sites determined following community consultation.
