Maroondah's Bicycle Network Review

Dear Heathmont Community,

Maroondah City Council is currently undertaking a review of their bicycle network with the assistance of SALT Traffic Engineering consultants. 

The Maroondah Bicycle Network was released in 2004 to demonstrate a network of visions to extend and enhance key bicycle links and achieve better integration with other transport networks and land uses. This has since become outdated in relation to the evolution of design guidelines and standards as well as policy and expectation of cycling facilities since 2004. 

The review being undertaken aims to identify existing shortfalls of the bicycle network and opportunities to improve cycling connection, safety and convenience across the municipality. An updated Maroondah Bicycle Network Plan will be produced along with an action plan of projects to implement the improvements. 

In preparation of the bicycle network review, community consultation is being undertaken to understand the viewpoints and expectations of the local community when it comes to cycling.

The consultation period ends on 11th August 2023, after which we will consider all the feedback from the community and stakeholders in preparation of the Maroondah Bicycle Network Plan.
