Footpath 40 at its eastern end is being diverted to provide a route for users that will be less susceptible to golf ball disturbance. The western end of Footpath 40 and Footpath 37 are being diverted to regularise paths that are currently being used on the ground.
All new routes are proposed to be 2 metres wide.
