Council Seeks Ideas for a New Active Transport Plan for Leeton Shire
Published on 28 November 2022
Council is developing a new Active Transport Plan for Leeton Shire and is inviting community input into the Plan.
Mayor Cr Tony Reneker said the Active Transport Plan aims to improve the Shire’s bicycle and pedestrian network and encourage greater participation in walking and cycling activities throughout the Shire.
“The Plan will identify the infrastructure and facilities needed to enhance health, lifestyle and social benefits to our community," said Mayor Reneker.
"Its development will also aid Council in applying for grants and funding in the future because Council will have a clear program of projects to implement.
Members of the community are invited to contribute to the Plan by providing their ideas for enhancing walking, running and riding opportunities in the Leeton Shire.
Ideas can be submitted via an online survey available on Council's website at www.leeton.nsw.gov.au. Written submissions can be emailed to council@leton.nsw.gov.au or dropped into the Council Administration Building at 23–25 Chelmsford Place.
Council will also be conducting workshops across the Shire to gather input and feedback from the community regarding the Active Transport Plan.
