Active transport, primarily in the form of walking and cycling are a sustainable and simple means of access to places, goods, services, experiences and information. In the planning of public and private spaces or facilities, priority should be given to active transport modes which are attractive, safe, convenient and accessible foreveryone. All responsible agencies should recognise the importance of constructing and maintaining active transport paths for transport, health, safety, leisure and social purposes. Planning for pedestrians and cyclists does not follow the same logic as planning for vehicles, which normally involves a ‘car’ - ‘trips’ - ‘routes’ - ‘traffic network’. It places more emphasis on the environment and the conditions along routes and at key attractors.

This Armidale Regional Active Transport Strategy (ATS) has been prepared for the Armidale Regional Council (ARC) to provide a framework for existing active transport needs, future management, use and enhancement for walking and cycling of all ages and mobility. The ATS is a strategic document that identifies the active transport network hierarchy and associated action plans for management.

At the Ordinary Council meeting held on Wednesday 22 May 2024 Council endorsed the Draft Active Transport Strategy for Public Exhibition from Friday 24 May to 5pm Monday 24 June.
