From Bulli in the Illawarra's northern suburbs, to Windang in the region's south, Council looks after more than 42km of cycle tracks.

Council builds and maintains all the cycleways around the city. And on top of the cycle tracks, there are some recommended paths for sightseeing.

Take the beach route from Sandon Point at Bulli to Wollongong City Beach, and the 13km track has stops at Bulli Beach, Puckeys Estate and North Wollongong Beach. If you're further south, the 15.5km Lake Illawarra Ride runs from the Illawarra Yacht Club, past the Windang Boat Shed and Reddall Reserve to Whyjuck Bay in Mt Warrigal.

There are also paths for cyclists in Shellharbour and Kiama. You'll find a full rundown - including highlights and a map - in the Cycle Wollongong brochure.

If you've got questions about new cycleways, have a question about an existing path, or want to let Council know about a pothole, call the Customer Service team on (02) 4227 7111.
