Council conducted a survey in 2023 in consultation with the community in developing a 10-year Walking and Cycling Strategic Plan to support and promote healthy, safe and fun active transport for practical transport and recreation.
The Mid-Western Region Walking and Cycling Strategic Plan aims to create more walkable and bicycle-friendly towns that are welcoming for residents, visitors, and businesses.
The strategic plan acknowledges the significant role that walking and cycling play in enhancing the friendly and welcoming ambience of our towns, now and into the future.
It highlights the region's top priority actions to encourage more people to walk or cycle for their daily errands such as shopping, school, leisure, work and, even, dog-walking.
Over the next 10 years, Mid-Western Regional Council intends to enable residents and visitors to overcome the key barriers to accessing local facilities, services and tourist destinations on foot or by bike.
