Council is committed to a greener future, through efficient sustainable transport options.
We aim to achieve this through implementing strategies such as our Active Travel Program, which encourages the use of travel and transport modes that focuses on delivering individual and environmental benefits such as walking, cycling, public transport and car pooling.
Our Active Travel Program offers activities, incentives, resources and forums to benefit everyone in the community. We aim to encourage active and healthy living through developing an integrated network of walking, cycling and public transport routes which link people to places, helping you easily incorporate active travel into your daily life for school, work, shopping and play.
