The Draft Walking and Cycling Strategy has been prepared to provide a framework for Council to increase participation in walking and cycling, prioritise its delivery and to improve the supporting infrastructure and resourcing for these activities in the Local Government Area over the next 10 years.

The strategy provides a framework for residents, Councillors and Council officers and will inform budgetary decisions, assist with grant applications and other potential funding sources. The identified network will be used to allocate work in the Delivery Program and Operational Plan on a priority basis.
