More people will walk when everyday destinations are connected by comfortable, direct, safe and accessible routes. Walking network plans (WNPs) are a first step to creating better places to walk.
The Queensland Government is committed to achieving the Queensland Walking Strategy 2019–2029 vision of walking becoming ‘an easy choice for everyone, every day’. When we talk about walking, we also include running and moving with the help of a mobility device (such as a wheelchair, mobility cane or a walking frame).
The following guidance supports practitioners to prepare WNPs and a prioritised works program to make the plan a reality.
