Active transport pathways are identified as a key strategy under the Council Plan (2.5.2).

  • OBJECTIVE

    Reduce emissions from travel by incentivising mode switching.

  • IMPACT

    Low

    Supporting active transport in our community will help to reduce transport emissions both within Council's emissions profile and throughout our community.

    One way to support active transport is to ensure that cyclists and pedestrians have safe and accessible pathways to navigate within and between our communities.
