The draft report explores how the Australian Government can work with other governments, business and the community to encourage and support walking and riding as part of the transport systems in Australia’s cities and towns.

The Department of Infrastructure and Transport seeks your views on walking and riding for transport purposes, and improved access to public transport. Your feedback will guide the Department’s policy development process.

Make a submission to the Walking, Riding and Access to Public Transport—Draft report for discussion.

Submissions will be accepted until 5pm on 31 January 2013.

NSW Bike Week is a Statewide NSW Government initiative that raises the profile of cycling as a healthy, easy, low cost and environmentally friendly way of getting around for short trips in your local community.

Everyone can participate in NSW Bike Week events, with a particular emphasis on encouraging new and less confident cyclists. NSW Bike Week 2012 is gearing up to be the largest in our history.

Visit bicycleinfo.nsw.gov.au for events and interesting tools and resources on cycling.

In order to make this plan successful we need your input. Please join us for a meeting on Wednesday 25 July, from 6-7 pm at the Harnett Room in the Civic Centre.
