Whitewater Creek Trail

The Whitewater Creek joins the Browns River by the Kingston Golf Course. There is future potential for a trail alongside the creek and Browns River if the golf club was amenable to the concept of a path along their southern boundary.​

Aug 2024. Work is underway to construct an underpass so path users no longer have to try to cross busy Summerleas Road.

​

Dec 2012. A missing section of trail along the creek by Summerleas Rd in Kingston is under construction. This will connect the older section of hotmix path to the new gravel track along the creek constructed as part of the Kingston Bypass project and complete a gap in the trail network. 

As part of the Springfarm subdivision a riparian reserve alongside the Whitewater Creek was transferred to Council. There are plans to construct a shared path along the Whitewater Creek.

Aug 2024. Council has extended the path from the Huon Road underpass to the Channel Hwy where there is a bus stop and bike lockers. 

Aug 2022. A new underpass has been installed under Huon Hwy to provide a link to the wetlands and Browns River area. 

Mar 2022. As part of the Kingston Park development the Whitewater Creek Trail has been widened and upgraded to a concrete all-weather surface. The work has transformed the track into a 3-metre wide, concrete, shared path standard and was funded through the State Government’s Vulnerable Road User Program, the Hobart City Deal and Kingborough Council.

Sept 2011. A short section of concrete path is being constructed on Beach Road between Channel Highway and John Street and will provide an important link to the Kingston shopping centre from the existing Whitewater Creek track.

As part of the Springfarm subdivision a riparian reserve alongside the Whitewater Creek was transferred to Council. There are plans to construct a shared path along the Whitewater Creek from the section by the bypass to Springfarm Road.

2011. As part of the Kingston Bypass project a section of the Whitewater Creek Track was constructed by DIER from Summerleas Rd but deviates from the creek alignment to follow the new bypass road to the Spring Farm Road overpass. 

2024. Work will commence on construction of a new path connecting the Whitewater Creek Trail at Springfarm subdivision to the sports precinct.
