Council is seeking input from residents to help shape active transport in the Mackay region for the next 10 years.
Improving active transport networks was a clear priority for Mackay identified in the 2023 Australian Liveability Census.
This project looks to improve active transport networks across the Mackay region.
A survey has been launched as part of community consultation aimed at gaining community input about how best to improve walking and riding infrastructure across the region.
Mayor Greg Williamson said council was developing a Mackay Active Transport and Micromobility Plan and wanted to hear from residents.
“The community feedback will help shape the future of our pathways, cycleways, road crossings and connections to key destinations,’’ Mayor Williamson said.
“Those destinations include schools, shops, parks and public transport,” he said.
“Whether you walk, ride a bike or ride a scooter, or are simply interested in safer and more accessible transport options, your input will be valuable.”
Mayor Williamson said active transport included walking, riding and rolling on any device that required human power for movement.
He said micromobility referred to lightweight, electric powered transport services, such as e-scooters.
“These e-scooters, including hire scooters and privately-owned scooters, have become increasingly popular in recent years, so form an important part of active transport needs.
“But micromobility also includes other electric devices, such as mobility scooters.”
The survey, which takes about 10 minutes to complete, can be accessed at connectingmackay.com.au/active-transport
It will close on Sunday, April 27 at 11.59pm.
