Wilson Street SharedBike Path Project
The Town has obtained a Western Australia Bicycle Network (WABN) grant from the Department of Transport for the detailed design of the Wilson Street Shared Bike Path Project.
This Project intends to link the cycle network from Redbank Bridge to Cooke Point Drive and McGregor Street in Port Hedland. Currently, the path from South Hedland ceases at Redbank Bridge and does not extend to Port Hedland.
Once completed, the linked pathway will encourage more residents to cycle and walk between Port and South Hedland, as well as linking tourists to key points of interest.
