Active transport can help everyone connect with what is important to them in Wyndham and beyond
Share your lived experience! Our Wyndham Active Transport Strategy 2026-35 aims to improve the path network and increase pedestrian and cycling use
We would love to hear what you think is important to help you walk or ride more. Your feedback will shape safer, better-connected paths for everyone in our community.
Share your feedback before 11:59PM Sunday 28 June 2026 via the survey below.
Why is the Active Transport strategy important?
We have had an Active Transport Strategy in place since 2020. Reviewing and updating the strategy helps ensure we continue delivering the best outcomes for our community while building on what has already been achieved.
Some highlights from our first Active Transport Strategy include:
- 63km of new footpaths constructed, connecting more than 181 streets and improving access for around 18,000 residents.
- New shared-use path links completed along sections of Davis Creek, Palmers Road, Laverton Creek, Werribee River and Skeleton Creek.
- Improvements to the active transport network through Council-funded projects and major State Government projects.
- Working with local schools to encourage walking, cycling and scooting. This included supporting students to become Active Travel Leaders, running school events to promote active travel, and providing bike checks, repairs and bike maintenance workshops for students.
Better connections encourage more active travel
We know people are more likely to walk, cycle and scoot when paths are safe, connected and easy to use. The updated strategy recognises there are opportunities to encourage more active travel to school, work and local destinations by improving connections and creating paths that are attractive, accessible and easy to navigate for people of all ages and abilities.
We encourage everyone who walks, cycles or scoots around Wyndham to get involved and share their feedback through the survey above.
To plan, fund, build, promote and advocate for a connected and safe network to allow our residents chose where and how they move around Wyndham.
To incorporate active transport infrastructure and facilities into major projects they are delivering or funding. Legislate (e.g. State road rules) and provide guidance, through strategies and policies around active transport.
Support Local Government through grant and budget funding for active transport projects.
Yes.
They make it easier to get around Wyndham. However, they should not be confused with illegally modified or overpowered e-bikes and e-scooters that dangerous and illegal to use.
In older parts of Wyndham, footpaths were not always built on both sides of a street.
The Neighbourhood Connections approach is to retrofit streets by constructing new footpaths on the opposite side to the existing path, so that residents can more safely access schools, parks, shops, community facilities and bus stops.
Safer access is important for all ages and abilities.
Higher Order Paths and Trails, especially along waterways are important connections across Wyndham.
In the medium to long term we work towards completing the already identified major path gaps in the network, depending on funding and resourcing availability (e.g. Werribee River path at the Maltby Bypass/Princes Freeway, Lollypop Creek under Armstrong Road/Rail Line in Manor Lakes).
Council has developed an initial online map of key paths you can use now, but please note more existing paths still need to be added to the map:
