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.

Community and stakeholder engagement is playing a crucial role in shaping the strategy, which is expected to be completed in mid-2025.

A community survey was open from Tuesday 11 March to 4pm on Friday 4 April, 2025. This initial engagement aimed to understand the issues, gaps and ideas that matter most to the community.

In addition to the survey, an interactive map was available where participants could place a pin or leave comment on specific locations, helping the project team gain deeper insights.

Two Pop Up Information Sessions were held on Monday 24 March and Tuesday 25 March, along with Group Walks scheduled at two time slots on Monday 24 March to engagewith as many people as possible.

All community members were encouraged to share their thoughts and help shape a more connected and active Port Lincoln.

Works has now commenced on developing the draft strategy based on the feedback received. The draft strategy will be shared for futher community input before being presented to Council for adoption.
