The City of Gosnells has completed stage one of a major shared path project connecting central Gosnells to the wider Perth area.
The freshly completed section runs 830 metres from the Tonkin Highway underpass along Seaforth Avenue to Hicks Street.
Stages two and three are currently in design and will extend the path from Hicks Street to Dorothy Street.
The $1.32 million project is fully funded by the state government as part of the Principal Shared Path Expansion Program.
Eventually, the path will connect Armadale to Perth via the City of Gosnells, mostly following the railway line.
City of Gosnells Mayor, Terresa Lynes, welcomed the milestone.
"Whether commuting to school or work, walking the dog, catching the train or riding to the shop, this shared path network will make it safer and easier for cyclists and pedestrians to get around," she said.
"The more we encourage people to leave their cars behind and use alternative transport options, the more we benefit our environment, reduce congestion and improve personal health and wellbeing."
