An extended Garden City Cycleway will increase active travel options in the inner north.

05 March 2025

In brief:

  • New funding will help extend the Garden City Cycleway.
  • This will give more options for walking, cycling and other forms of active travel in Canberra.

Canberrans will soon have even more opportunities to walk, cycle and move through their community.

Federal Government funding will allow the Garden City Cycleway to extend further through the inner north.

This investment will improve opportunities for active travel and better connect the territory.

The extension will be built between North Ainslie Primary School and Majura Primary School via:

  • the Dickson District playing fields
  • Downer shops
  • Academy of Interactive Entertainment
  • Mount Majura Walking and Riding Trail.

The additional funding builds upon existing investment.

It will ensure a further 3.15 kilometres can be built, to be enjoyed by cyclists and pedestrians.

Work on the first stage of the Cycleway – connecting Braddon to Ainslie – is almost complete.

Building quality walking and cycling infrastructure gives more opportunity for healthier transport choices right across the scenic capital.
