The Great Kai Mia Feasibility Study

Report

Executive Summary

The Great Kai’mia Way is over 200 kilometres of sustainable access routes to the foreshores of the Georges And Woronora Rivers, linking with the Illawarra Escarpment and Botany Bay. It is a vision of non-motorised movement through the valleys – on foot, by bicycle or in canoe, respecting the ecological, cultural, social and heritage values of the area. It is also a vision about partnerships and community participation, about building an asset that respects the past, the current and future generations.

... The strategic cornerstone of this project has been the process of establishing partnerships with stakeholders and the community. Both SSEC and GREA canvassed the views and interest of community even before the study began. Preparatory discussions were also held with a number of council staff, Councillors and State members of Parliament.
