Active Transport Strategy
Consultation has concluded
Project update December 2024: The Active Transport Plan (formally strategy) has been finalised following community and stakeholder feedback and was endorsed at the Ordinary Council Meeting on 10 December 2024.
You can read the plan on Council's website.
The Active Transport Plan establishes the vision for active transport in the City - that everyone should be able to safely and easily choose to walk or bike more often when moving about, getting daily exercise, enjoying fun and healthy lives and accessing public transport. The Active Transport Plan, and its supporting documents, sets out set out a clear pathway for delivering this vision by providing safe, connected and accessible paths for people of all ages and abilities.
Randwick City Council has developed a draft Active Transport Strategy and draft Walking and Cycling Plan to make it easier for people to move around our city on foot or by bike by providing safe, connected, and accessible paths for people of all ages and abilities.
Did you know that one third of people living in Randwick City can’t drive due to age or disability (ABS 2021) and one third of all trips in our LGA are by walking or riding (Household Travel Survey 2021/22)? This makes it vitally important that we provide easy, comfortable, safe walking and riding connections.
Draft Active Transport Strategy
The draft strategy has developed six outcomes, each with a range of strategic approaches and priority actions for active transport.
The strategic approaches will guide the planning, delivery and maintenance of walking and cycling infrastructure and initiatives.
Draft Walking and Cycling Plan
Included in the draft Walking and Cycling Plan are proposed Walking Improvement Areas and the proposed Cycling Network.
The Walking Improvement Areas designates nine areas for streetscape enhancements. These areas include our vibrant shopping districts and are aimed at facilitating easy access to nearby schools and public transport.
The Cycling Network builds on our previous plans and the NSW Government’s Strategic Cycling Corridors introduced in 2022. We have identified 15 cycling routes to safely connect our key destinations with the current cycling network.
