Corridor of Oaks

Corridor of Oaks - NatureTREAD™

Faulconbridge, New South Wales – The Corridor of Oaks commemorates the memory and legacy of Sir Henry Parkes, and the prominent role he played in bringing about the federation of the Australian colonies. The Corridor is also significant of the successive Prime Ministers of Australia since Federation. In 2022, plans were established to upgrade the Corridor, to make it accessible for visitors and to improve amenities.

As part of the upgrade, an elevated walkway was designed to protect the sensitive root system of the trees. This would also help visitors avoid injuries while trying to walk around the tree roots. Treadwell was engaged to supply the FRP products for this walkway.

Project Challenges

  • Material had to have minimal impact to the surroundings.
  • Longevity and maintenance requirements of the structure had to be considered.
  • Walkway had to be slip resistant and accessible for users in mobility devices.
