Existing cycling rates in and around Liverpool are relatively low in comparison to other modes of transport. The Draft Liverpool BikePlan (2017) cites figures from the Bureau of Transport Statistics, which estimates that of all daily trips undertaken in Liverpool, bicycle trips only account for 0.5-1%, or between 3,500 and 7,000 total journeys.
A number of physical barriers to movement also impact Liverpool’s cycling network, in the form of natural waterways, major roads and local rail lines.
Despite low cycling statistics for Liverpool, three sides of Woodward Park are currently serviced by cycling infrastructure and independent estimates from Strava Labs indicate health cycling activity along Hoxton Park Road.
As shown in the map above, there is a broad potential to implement stronger bike connections from Woodward Park into the CBD, highlighted in the proposed on and off road cyclist routes.
Liverpool is characterised by a busy road network, with the city located at the meeting point of major road networks connecting South Western Sydney to key centres in Sydney and regional destinations along the Hume Highway. Within the CBD, the centre is well serviced by bus and train services.
Woodward Park is bounded by major arterial roads including the Hume Highway, Memorial Avenue and Hoxton Park Road and lies near the major interchange between the A28 and the A34. The site is directly linked by these road networks to the Sydney CBD, Heathcote, Punchbowl, Campbelltown, Parramatta, Eastern Creek and the ACT.
Liverpool CBD is served by both Liverpool Station and Warwick Farm Station, which are each serviced by three train lines:
The closest train station to Woodward Park is Liverpool Station, located beside the Georges River and at an 800m walking distance from the north-east entrance to the park. Liverpool Station is co-located with the Liverpool Bus Interchange, a key local centre for transit connection.
Bus services in the Liverpool City Centre are provided by the following bus operators:
The Liverpool Key Bus Interchange is located adjacent to Liverpool Station on the eastern side of the city centre. The interchange is serviced by all three bus operators and has a single access point off Moore Street.The street infrastructure grid for Liverpool was designed by the New South Wales Colony Surveyor Robert Hoddle in 1927. The grid system is characteristic of Hoddle’s later work designing the city layout of Melbourne, and uses a rectangular and regular street network which promotes access, navigation and walkability
Parking provision in Liverpool CBD includes 16 formal parking stations and on-street parking throughout the centre.The 2017 report A Transport Strategy for Liverpool City Centre identifies that on-street and off-street parking areas within the CBD are currently at capacity, with a total of 2,450 on-street spaces experiencing an occupancy rate of 86% during peak parking periods and high demand for the 6,260 off-street parking spaces across the CBD. The City’s parking strategy aims to reduce congestion and promotes the location of parking outside the periphery of the CBD.
Collimore multi-storey car park is a future proposed planning initiative to alleviate current stressors on the parking with Liverpool CBD.
