Introduction 1.1.1 The project @leisure planners assisted Council to prepare a Walking and Cycling Strategy for 2019 to 2029 to increase the number of people walking and cycling in Wangaratta. What will the plan do? The plan will identify the following: • Ways to make walking and cycling easier and more enjoyable for more people • Priority improvements to the quality, safety and continuous nature of facilities to better connect people to where they want to go • What can be done to create a culture of cycling and walking in Wangaratta planning and management functions • How to encourage more people of all ages, backgrounds and abilities to ride and walk for longer and more often. Why is Council doing this plan? There are considerable benefits of cycling and walking. These include the personal benefits of physical exercise and the mental health benefits of being outdoors. Walking and cycling are very affordable ways to travel and stay fit, to socialise and reduce stress, and see the outdoors. More people walking and cycling in Wangaratta will mean better health outcomes for the community, less traffic congestion and demand for parking, a quieter, cleaner, greener Wangaratta. More visitors walking and cycling In Wangaratta will mean economic benefits for the City. The last cycling plan was prepared in 1999. The plan will guide Council’s planning and management priorities over the next 10 years, determine how Wangaratta could be more pedestrian and bicycle friendly and as well as guide funding decisions and what projects should seek external funding.

    Western Community Cycling Hub Submission to Maribyrnong Council Hansen Reserve Draft Master Plan Prepared by Western Riders, Promoting Cycling in the Inner West https://www.facebook.com/sunsetvelodrome/ Contact person: Dr John Symons 20 Barnet St Yarraville 0434 870 981 [email protected] Western Riders Committee Members Rob Cust, Megan Bridger-Darling, Murray Jenkins, Colin McEvoy, Matt Rodd John Symons 1 Executive Summary Maribyrnong Council have called for community input into the development of a Master plan for Hansen Reserve West Footscray and this submission proposes a focus on cycling in the Master Plan. Cycling was a very popular pastime during the late 19th century and first half of the 20th century with many clubs forming in the western suburbs. During this period, the Footscray Velodrome was constructed in Hansen Reserve in the mid-1930s and existed until the mid-2000s when the top layer was removed after a failed re-surfacing attempt. Despite this approximately 70% of the banking of the cycling track still exists and the area is unspecified open space. The removal of the Footscray velodrome has led to a complete absence in cycling facilities for the whole of the western suburbs as compared to the north, east and south of Melbourne that have many clubs and extensive facilities. Cycling participation levels are declining in Australia, however, research suggests there is a large latent demand for cycling. While Australians are cycling less they are also doing less physical activity with more than 1 in 2 Australians not meeting their recommended daily amounts of physical activity.
