Community feedback sought on Council’s draft Active Transport Plan

Published on 26 March 2024

Snowy Monaro Regional Council is seeking community input on a new draft Active Transport Plan, which proposes new footpath, trail and cycleway projects to improve and expand the region’s existing pedestrian and cycling network.

The draft Plan has been developed on the back of community consultation undertaken in September 2023, which included a survey and a series of community workshops.

Members of the Snowy Monaro community provided valuable insight into the current condition of the region's shared path network, areas of concern, and suggestions for path extensions and new links.

This revised draft of the Active Transport Plan incorporates the feedback Council received from the community in 2023, setting out in order of priority a plan for new shared path infrastructure to enhance pedestrian and cycling connectivity.

Council invites the community to review the updated draft, and provide their feedback on the future of active transport in our region. This is an opportunity to identify any gaps in the proposal, and offer further comment on works planned for towns and villages across the region.

The draft Active Transport Plan will assist Council in pursuing funding opportunities for the construction of new pedestrian and cycling infrastructure, as prioritised in the Plan.
