Sydney’s 6km Car-Free Green Corridor to Transform City Mobility in 2025
Affiliate Disclosure
Hey fellow impactful ninja ?
You may have noticed that Impactful Ninja is all about providing helpful information to make a positive impact on the world and society. And that we love to link back to where we found all the information for each of our posts.
Most of these links are informational-based for you to check out their primary sources with one click.
But some of these links are so-called "affiliate links" to products that we recommend.
Why do we add these product links?
First and foremost, because we believe that they add value to you. For example, when we wrote a post about the environmental impact of long showers, we came across an EPA recommendation to use WaterSense showerheads. So we linked to where you can find them. Or, for many of our posts, we also link to our favorite books on that topic so that you can get a much more holistic overview than one single blog post could provide.
And when there is an affiliate program for these products, we sign up for it. For example, as Amazon Associates, we earn from qualifying purchases.
What do these affiliate links mean for you?
First, and most importantly, we still only recommend products that we believe add value for you.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission - but at no additional costs to you.
And when you buy something through a link that is not an affiliate link, we won’t receive any commission but we’ll still be happy to have helped you.
What do these affiliate links mean for us?
When we find products that we believe add value to you and the seller has an affiliate program, we sign up for it.
When you buy something through one of our affiliate links, we may earn a small commission (at no extra costs to you).
And at this point in time, all money is reinvested in sharing the most helpful content with you. This includes all operating costs for running this site and the content creation itself.
What does this mean for me personally?
You may have noticed by the way Impactful Ninja is operated that money is not the driving factor behind it. It is a passion project of mine and I love to share helpful information with you to make a positive impact on the world and society. However, it's a project in that I invest a lot of time and also quite some money.
Eventually, my dream is to one day turn this passion project into my full-time job and provide even more helpful information. But that's still a long time to go.

📰 The quick summary: Sydney’s new 6km car-free GreenWay connecting Cooks River to Sydney Harbour will open in 2025, creating a continuous path for cyclists and pedestrians that enhances urban mobility and green space access.
📈 One key stat: The $60 million GreenWay project is already 80% complete and will create a 6km continuous path connecting two of Sydney’s most popular waterways.
💬 One key quote: “We know that kids will use the GreenWay to get to school, either walking or on their bikes, that families will use it recreationally, and it’s also going to be a centre of public art.”
1️⃣ The big picture: Sydney is about to unveil an innovative 6km car-free corridor that will connect the Cooks River to Sydney Harbour. The GreenWay project transforms a century-old rail corridor into a continuous path for cyclists and pedestrians, with construction now 80% complete. This green transport artery will intersect with the upcoming south-west Metro line scheduled for 2026 completion. When finished, the corridor will feature parks, playgrounds, sporting facilities, bushcare sites, public art installations, cafes, and cultural points of interest.
2️⃣ Why is this good news: This urban transformation provides Sydney residents with a safe, continuous path completely separated from vehicle traffic, encouraging active lifestyles through walking and cycling. Kids can safely travel to school while families gain a recreational space featuring public art and green areas. The project deliberately connects previously isolated communities, improving access to public transport via the Metro line intersection. By supporting decreased car dependency and promoting sustainable transportation, the GreenWay helps reduce emissions while contributing to Sydney’s evolution as a more livable, connected city with world-class public spaces.
3️⃣ What’s next: The final sections requiring completion are the Hercules parklands and New Canterbury Road underpass. The GreenWay will soon feature ten major public art installations along its route to enhance its appeal as a citywide destination. When the south-west Metro opens in 2026, both projects together will form an integrated transportation network that dramatically transforms how people move through Sydney’s inner west.
