Next steps
The project team have used your feedback to inform updates to the Plan.
City of Newcastle has considered your feedback and made the required changes in consultation with the Walking and Mobility Working Party.
The final Plan went to the Ordinary Council Meeting on 10 December 2024 and was unanimously adopted. The document will be used to inform how we plan for improved walking across Newcastle through to 2034.
Draft Walking and Mobility Plan
City of Newcastle prepared a draft Walking and Mobility Plan which is a 10-year strategy designed to increase pedestrian activity in Newcastle by building and supporting walkable neighbourhoods.
Community feedback collected during the development of the Principal Pedestrian Network was used to inform the draft Walking and Mobility Plan which was placed on public exhibition.
The strategy aims to make walking and active transport the natural choice for short trips for every member of the community, by prioritising pedestrians in all infrastructure upgrades across the city.
