Kingston Walking & Cycling Plan

The City of Kingston will be updating its Cycling and Walking Plan. This five-year Plan will provide us with a framework to guide improvements to cycling routes and walking paths in Kingston.  

We hope to develop a network of trails and cycleways that are accessible, integrated and connected to other modes of transport to ensure residents and visitors to the City of Kingston have a range of safe and sustainable travel choices.

The Plan will:

• help Council make informed decisions about future investments in bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure: and
• develop a capital program of works for improving bicycle and pedestrian facilities.

Key to the success of the Plan is consultation, collaboration, and coordination between Council departments, external stakeholders, and the wider community – and a joint effort with many authorities responsible for realising the network.

We want to make sure Council takes on board your ideas and experiences of walking and cycling in our city, to get it right. We are opening this subject up for community consultation from 20 September-24 October and encourage you to get involved and to ‘help us to map out a pedestrian and cycling-friendly Kingston.’ 

As part of this first stage, we hope to identify:

• any priorities for making walking and cycling the preferred transport choice, particularly for short local trips
• concerns about (or barriers to) providing for cyclists and pedestrians, and
• specific locations (using on-line mapping software) where improvements for pedestrians and cyclists could be made – such as missing gaps in the network, new cycle parking, wayfinding, safety issues, new road crossings, cleaning and maintenance, and accessibility for people with a disability.

We would like you to share your ideas on how we can improve the cycling and pedestrian experience in Kingston. 

You can also share your views by:

• Taking part in our online survey at yourkingstonyoursay.com.au/map-out-a-pedestrian-and-cycling-friendly-kingston
• Making a further submission by emailing info@kingston.vic.gov.au or mailing PO Box 1000, Mentone 3194.

We would also appreciate if you could share these details with your members, to provide them with an opportunity to respond to this community consultation, between 20 September and 24 October 2021. 

Thank you for your support and feedback.
