NSW Minister for Roads Duncan Gay and NSW Minister for Disability Services John Ajaka have announced the NSW Government is planning to install lifts at Kirribilli and The Rocks to ensure everybody can experience the scenic walk across Australia’s most recognisable landmark.
“The Sydney Harbour Bridge walkway is appreciated by more than a million people each year for exercise, to take in views of the harbour or travel between home and work – and it should be available for everyone to enjoy,” Mr Gay said.
Minsiter Ajaka said the project was a game-changer for people with disability and their families.
“The NSW Government is determined to make NSW the state of inclusion. Everyone, including people with disability, should be able to enjoy everything NSW has to offer,” Mr Ajaka said.
“Importantly, Sydneysiders are not the only ones who will benefit from these improvements, people from around the world who come to our beautiful city will now have better access to the bridge.”
Consultation, detailed design and environmental assessment is expected to take around 12 months, with construction to start soon after, pending planning and heritage approvals.
