M12 Path way - not yet complete - see info below
THE NEW M12 Path way - not yet complete - expected early 2026
A16-kilometer shared user path is being constructed along the M12 Motorway to connect the M7 to the Northern Road, and will provide a dedicated bike path from Cecil Hills to the new Western Sydney International Airport.
The path is expected to open in early 2026 and will include features like rest areas, tree canopy for shade, and connections to other existing and future bike networks, such as the Western Sydney Parklands and creekside paths.
Key features of the M12 bike path
-
Length: The path will be approximately 16 kilometers long.
-
Route: It will run alongside the M12 Motorway, connecting the M7 at Cecil Hills to The Northern Road at Luddenham.
-
Airport access: The path will include a connection to the new Western Sydney International Airport.
-
Amenities: It will feature six rest areas with benches and drinking water, interpretive artwork, signage, and good lighting.
-
Connectivity: The path is designed to connect with existing and future shared paths, including the M7, Bringelly Road, Northern Road, and planned creekside paths to create a larger cycling network.
-
Landscape: Significant tree planting is planned to provide shade and help mitigate the impacts of Western Sydney's hot climate.
What to know for cyclists
-
Construction: The path is currently under construction and is expected to open to the public in early 2026.
-
Current status: While construction is underway, some sections may have limited access or temporary connections. For example, a 2.3km link connecting the M7 to the M12 through Western Sydney Parklands is currently being built.
-
Future connections: The M12 path is part of a larger plan to create a comprehensive cycling network in Western Sydney. The network will also link to the Wylde Mountain Bike area.
There are three main regional cycling routes east/west across the City:
-
Prospect Creek shared path connects to the Holroyd City network and Fairfield Town Centre (about 5km).
-
Bay to Mountains (Orphan School Creek) shared path connects to Mirambeena Regional Park, Bankstown and to Prospect Reservoir, Blacktown (about 20km).
-
Council has recently completed stages 1 to 3 of the Cabramatta Creek shared path, which has added to the overall distance of a minor shared path that comes off the Bay to Mountains network in King Park, Wakeley, and connects to Cowpasture Road via St Johns Park (about 7km).
Regional Cycling Routes through our City
There are two regional routes that travel north/south through the City:
-
Rail Trail cycleway connects Parramatta to Liverpool and links to Prospect Creek and the Bay to Mountains shared path network. This path connects to the Cabramatta Creek shared path when the next stages are completed and is about 7.5km long.
-
T-Way cycleway connects Parramatta to Liverpool and links to the Bay to Mountains and the St Johns Park shared path networks.
The whole system across the City is about 80-90km. The Bay to Mountains also connects to the Rail Trail. The Cowpasture Road shared path connects Elizabeth Drive to The Horsley Drive, which also links to the Bay to Mountains, St Johns Park and the T-Way networks. It is about 8km long. There are also circuit paths in some of Council’s parks, including Brenan Park (Smithfield) and Springfield Park (Old Guildford).
