John Oxley Reserve

Council is improving the recreational walking trail within John Oxley Reserve in Kirkham.

The project was identified in the Camden Green and Blue Grid Vision and is funded through the NSW Government's Places to Roam program. It aims to improve community wellbeing and connect people to the landscape.

The John Oxley Recreational Trail project includes a recreational pathway that will create several route options which connect the regenerated bushland areas, ridgelines, and water feature within the Reserve and builds upon Council's existing partnership with Greening Australia.

Works will include:

  • New footpath entry from the carpark on The Lanes road;
  • Minor drainage improvements;
  • Minor path improvements and levelling;
  • Landscaping and seating locations;
  • Viewing platforms; 
  • Drinking fountain;
  • Wayfinding and environmental interpretation signage; and
  • Landscaping works.

Timeframe

This project commenced in January 2024 and is expected to be completed in October 2024, weather depending. 

Budget

The $400,000 project was funded by NSW Government's Places to Roam program.
