The Walk, Cycle Greater Bendigo Strategy (2019) guides future decision making with the aim to make it easier for more people to walk and cycle more often.
Walking and cycling are a person’s most simple form of independent transport and popular for recreation. The Active Living Census (2014) shows walking and cycling are the top two, year-round ways residents get regular physical activity.
Walking and cycling is accessible to many and contributes to local economies and the social, cultural and mental health of our communities.
