Transport Portfolio Councillor Christian Dickson said Council aimed to deliver connected, safe and sustainable transport systems for our region
“This ensures all members of the community can move around safely and enjoyably,” Cr Dickson said.
“Through Council’s ThinkChange program we are supporting engagement on Active Transport with initiatives such as the Biketober promotion.
“Biketober encourages us to swap the car for a bike and discover a healthier, more sustainable way to travel – from our daily commute or school run to a weekend outing.”
Active planning
The work supports Council’s Corporate Plan 2025-2030, which includes the goal of building a strong, healthy and active community.
Council is also developing its Draft Active Transport Plan which reflects on the need for transport alternatives to the car as the region grows and desire to make it easier for more people to travel locally more often.
Active transport can provide environmental, economic and health benefits to our community when it offers a connected, safe and inclusive space for people of all ages, genders and abilities to travel.
