Manningham's Active Transport Strategy

The Strategy sets out our vision and priorities for walking, cycling and other forms of active transport, helping support a safe, healthy and connected community.

Key areas of focus

The Strategy is built around 6 themes:

  • safe
  • empowering and inclusive
  • healthy community
  • connected
  • equitable priority
  • future focused.

Read Manningham's Active Transport Strategy 2026-2036.

The strategy covers active transport options like walking, cycling, scooters, skateboards and e‑mobility, with a focus on improving:

  • cycling infrastructure
  • footpaths and walking trails
  • links to key destinations and public transport
  • end‑of‑trip facilities
  • bicycle facilities on key routes.


Why have you developed a new strategy?

This strategy replaces our previous walking and cycling strategies and sits alongside (but separate from) our Footpath Policy.

The new strategy reflects current community needs, best practice and changing transport priorities.

    Manningham Council was awarded $30,000 to contribute to our Active Transport Strategy, thanks to the TAC Local Government Grant Program (LGGP).

    The LGGP provides funding to projects that help prevent road trauma and facilitate adoption of the ‘Safe System’ approach to road safety: safe roads, safe vehicles, safe speeds and safe people.

    This funding will be used in combination with council allocated funds to deliver a broader and carefully considered Active Transport Strategy to encourage Manningham residents to walk and cycle more frequently.
