  • create joint visions that speak to multiple interests and concerns
  • initiate action to resolve issues and problems
  • seek out and facilitate the involvement of those potentially affected
  • provide participants with the information they need to participate in a meaningful way
  • increase public confidence in local government and its management of local resources

Lachlan Active Transport Plan 2025

Lachlan Active Transport Plan 2025

Lachlan Shire Council has received funding under the NSW Get Active Program to prepare a new Active Transport Plan (ATP) to replace the Lachlan Active Travel Plan 2016. Many of the projects listed under the Lachlan Active Travel Plan 2016 have been completed by Council, and it is timely to investigate the next program of walking and cycling facility improvements in the Lachlan Shire. Council has teamed up with consultants from Currajong and GHD to prepare a new Lachlan Active Transport Plan 2025 to propose new projects for implementation. Community engagement is an important part of the plan making process, and interested members of the community are encouraged to become involved in the project in coming months.

What is Active Transport?

Active transport refers to people walking, running and bike riding as well as other transport options such as e-bikes, e-scooters and mobility scooters, adults pushing prams and wheelchair use. The NSW government wants to make active transport the preferred way to make short trips in regional areas.

What is an Active Transport Plan?

Active Transport Plans are being prepared by councils across NSW to assist with the programming of active transport infrastructure projects such as new footpaths, shared paths, safe street crossings, end-of-trip facilities, and wayfinding signage. An important goal for active transport plans is to increase separation between fast moving motor traffic and active transport users as well as to decrease traffic congestion and air pollution, improve public health outcomes and enhance the livability of urban areas.
