Delivering the strategy

Actions

Delivering better connected and higher quality bike riding and walking networks can result in significant and broad-ranging
benefits for the community.

The following actions have been identified to support the vision and objectives (outlined on page 7):

Deliver and maintain a safe and connected network

Addressing Objectives 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8
Action 1 The provision of a safe and connected bike riding and walking network is the top priority for Council to
increase bike riding and walking participation in Noosa. This includes completing missing links in the
network with a focus on recreation, education and commuter trips, and providing connections to the Noosa
trail network, mountain biking tracks, and competitive cycling opportunities.
Provide supporting facilities

Addressing Objectives 1, 3, 4 and 7
Action 2 Our walking and bike riding networks need to be attractive and comfortable to encourage more users.
Providing supporting facilities such as way-finding signage, shade, shelter, bicycle parking, drinking
fountains and seating allow for an enjoyable and convenient trip.

Encourage increased participation

Addressing Objectives 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
Action 3 The delivery of travel behaviour change and education programs can be a cost-effective and proven
method of inducing more people to walk and ride bikes. Targeted programs can encourage people to
walk and ride more often for more trip purposes, particularly when improved infrastructure is provided.

Plan for walk and cycle friendly communities

Action 4 Addressing Objectives 1, 2, 3 and 8
Active transport planning needs to be integrated into all levels of planning and delivery within Council and
in planning new developments to achieve the NCWSIP vision and objectives.

Embrace emerging technologies

Addressing Objectives 3 and 4
Action 5 There are emerging technologies and devices such as electric micro-mobility devices (e-bikes, e-scooter,
e-skateboards etc.) that are making a difference to how people use active transport. These environmentally
friendly technologies can make them attractive to more diverse community groups.
