Public consultation has wrapped on three major walking and cycling projects in Randwick, marking the latest step in the plans for a more connected cycling network across the city. While the headline proposals focus on Kingsford, Kensington and Maroubra, their eventual delivery could expand the cycling connections available to Clovelly residents travelling across Randwick and towards the Sydney CBD.
The recently concluded community feedback touched on three route concepts: the third and final stage of the Kingsford-to-Centennial Park cycleway, a proposed link along Todman Avenue, and a walking and cycling corridor through the former tramway median on Anzac Parade.
Though none of the three projects is located in Clovelly, planning documents place them within a much broader cycling network. Under Randwick’s Active Transport Plan, Clovelly Road is identified as route C11, linking Clovelly Beach with Centennial Park.
Centennial Park sits at the heart of Clovelly’s wider cycling connections
For Clovelly riders, Centennial Park is an important junction in the planned cycling network. The usefulness of a future Clovelly-to-Centennial Park cycling link would increase if riders could continue onto safe, connected routes beyond the park.
Completing Stage 3 of the Kingsford-to-Centennial Park cycleway — extending south from Barker Street to Sturt Street — would create a 2.8-kilometre separated cycleway between Kingsford and Centennial Park, improving access to UNSW and connecting with adjacent City of Sydney cycleways.

Meanwhile, the proposed Todman Avenue route would extend the network westward, improving cycling access from Kensington towards Green Square station, Waterloo Metro station and the Sydney CBD.

To the south, the proposed Anzac Parade route would use the former tramway median to create a new greenway spine between Kingsford and Fitzgerald Avenue, improving cycling access towards Maroubra Junction.

If delivered alongside the planned Clovelly Road connection, the three projects would give riders reaching Centennial Park access to a wider network towards Kingsford, Kensington, Green Square, Waterloo, the Sydney CBD and Maroubra.
Clovelly’s cycling connection has been on the map for years
A cycling connection between Clovelly and Centennial Park is not a new idea. The Clovelly Road connection has appeared in council cycling plans since at least 2015, while the current Active Transport Plan also identifies a coastal C6 route between Clovelly and Little Bay.
However, a line on a strategic network map is not the same as a funded construction project.
The NSW Government is funding design development for the three proposals, while construction remains subject to future NSW Government funding. As of 11 August, council had not published submission totals on the three project pages or set a construction timetable.
The next test is whether the network gets funded and built
The next step will be what council makes of the community feedback and whether funding can be secured to move the proposals towards construction.
The bigger issue for Clovelly is how much of the surrounding network ultimately progresses from concept plans to funded infrastructure. The usefulness of Clovelly’s planned cycling connections would be substantially greater if the routes around Centennial Park, Kingsford, Kensington and Anzac Parade are also delivered.
