Background

Overview

Walking and cycling will play an important transport role in the future. Increasingly, active transport will help deliver improved mobility, safer streets, healthier residents and reduced impact on global climate, all resulting in a world-class quality of life.

Progress

Following the adoption of the plan, council continues to deliver progress on actions across the seven key priority areas.

In 2021, council commissioned the latest in a series of surveys to obtain accurate data on walking and cycling participation and perceptions by Sunshine Coast residents. The National cycling participation survey Sunshine Coast (2021) report outlines survey findings on participation and perception and provides comparisons with Queensland and Regional Queensland data.

These findings will provide a benchmark for measuring future progress for walking and cycling.
