What’s the plan?
- An interconnected network of bike paths across greater Hobart
- All paths to meet all ages and abilities (AAA) standard —suitable for most people including children, older people & inexperienced riders
Why?
Improving cycling connectivity & accessibility will encourage people to replace short & medium length car trips with bicycle trips. Among other things a modal shift to bikes will help address traffic congestion.
Where’s it up to?
Endorsed by the Tasmanian government and Hobart, Kingborough, Clarence & Glenorchy councils in December 2021.
However it’s a guide to joint planning and investment — there’s no allocated funding or time goals. The very similar Hobart Regional Arterial Bicycle Network Plan remains largely incomplete almost 15 years after it was released in 2009.
What can I do?
Let the councils, Tasmanian government and your elected members know how important this is. See our Get Involved page for how to do this.
