Please read through again, check the previous Updates and email Councillors, Lord Mayor and CEO your Request for a "complete revision" AND re-exhibition of this major Infrastructure Project.

  2. Relocate new bridge to align beside Marsden St & respect historic views (east)
  3. Rehabilitate the low flood-shoulder as wildlife habitat at OKS (northside)
  4. Design a Boardwalk fully above water, excluding concrete walls (southside)
  5. Create a Boardwalk link ramp as ecological & cultural city feature (south)
  6. AND refuse the implied "continuing" destruction of riverbank up into Parramatta Park...! (west)

It demonstrates the low 'natural riparian floodway shoulder' with fringing sedge wetlands and the Southern embankment - both of which deserve comprehensive ecological protections, regeneration. As habitat corridor linking the CBD and Parramatta Park, this "connection to country" framework is necessary to complement more appropriately located Over-The-Water Boardwalk, provide substantial water-quality inclusions with both floating and inground sedges and celebrate heritage vistas, landforms and integrate high-quality aesthetic ramp link linkage- to the Jeffery House gardens experience.
