Draft Walking and Cycling Strategy

Project Overview

Help us, Help You, Wander, Walk or Wheel in Port Lincoln

The City of Port Lincoln is developing a long-term strategy to enhance and expand walking, cycling, and wheeled transport infrastructure, promoting safe, accessible, and interconnected pathways for residents and visitors. This Walking and Cycling Strategy will shape the future of active transportation, creating a more connected and vibrant community.

The Draft Strategy has now been developed based on community and stakeholder input and is ready for further community consultation. Comments wereinvited from Thursday, 4 September to 10am on Friday, 26 September 2025.

Community engagement has played a key role in shaping the draft. An initial survey was open from Tuesday 11 March to 4pm on Friday 4 April 2025, aiming to capture the community’s views on existing issues, infrastructure gaps, and future opportunities.

In addition to the survey, participants could interact with an online map to provide location-specific feedback, offering valuable insights to the project team.

Two Pop-Up Information Sessions were held on Monday 24 March and Tuesday 25 March, along with two Group Walks on 24 March, providing further opportunities for people to share their ideas and experiences.

The feedback received during this first phase of consultation has been instrumental in developing the Draft Strategy. Council invitedthe community to review the draft and provide further feedback before the Strategy is finalised and presented to Council for adoption in October 2025.

The Draft Port Lincoln Walking and Cycling Strategy 2025-2030 is available to review in the Key Documents section on the right. Hardcopies werealso available at the Council Office and Port Lincoln Library.
