Getting Around Marrickville
The Marrickville area is one of the most densely populated areas in Sydney. We have a lot of public transport available to us as residents, but there is also a lot of industrial and freight traffic in amongst the passenger cars on our roads. MTAG does its best to keep residents informed about these options, as well as the ways and means of dealing with the nastier aspects of traffic.
Marrickville Council's Active Transport Map
This great map shows public transport, cycling & walking routes in the Marrickville Local Government Area. You can pick one up from the council offices or your local library, or call 9335 2222 and ask to have one sent to you.
