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.
