The NSW Government has released a Walkable NSW Issues Paper, launching consultation that will inform the development of the state’s first ever Walking Strategy.
Minister for Transport, John Graham said the success of the city’s GreenWay and Bondi to Manly walks gave a sense of what was possible in the city on foot.
“Walking is the most popular form of transport in NSW, so it makes sense that we take a strategic approach to maximise our potential as a walking city,” said Mr Graham.
“The walking strategy will help state government and local councils do a better job of planning, funding and designing our streets and places in a way that encourages walking. We’re starting by asking the community what’s most important.”
The 38-page Issues Paper is available to view here.
