Townsville’s bike riding, scooter riding and pedestrian communities are set to benefit from a new collaboration aimed at improving sustainable transport options across the city. Bicycle Queensland has joined forces with the Townsville City Council and local community members to establish an Active Transport Advisory Group.
After visiting Townsville during our Regional Tour in August, the need for input was clear, and since then Bicycle Queensland has been involved in assisting to set up local advocates to work closely with Townsville City Council to improve the current active transport network.
The primary objective of the group is to improve infrastructure and facilities for bike riders and pedestrians, helping to create safer, more accessible routes for those choosing active transport. By fostering a collaborative approach, the group aims to encourage more people in Townsville to leave their cars behind and embrace walking and cycling as sustainable, eco-friendly modes of transportation.
Key goals for the group include:
Bicycle Queensland’s CEO, Alton Twine, expressed excitement about the initiative, stating, “Bicycle Queensland congratulates Townsville City Council on this initiative. This advisory group is a fantastic opportunity to work directly with the local community and Townsville City Council to make meaningful improvements for bike and scooter riders, and pedestrians. By working together, we can help create a more connected, sustainable, and healthier city for all residents.
A major part of the success for this collaboration will be working with Townsville’s Bicycle User Group (BUG), who are instrumental in advocacy on the ground, with support from Bicycle Queensland.
The collaboration is expected to result in significant improvements to Townsville’s active transport infrastructure, making the city a more bike, scooter and pedestrian-friendly place to live, work, and play.
