The Strategy sets out a vision for bike riding across the region, with a proposed cycling network and infrastructure in key townsites providing interregional connections.

To help us develop the strategy, we want to know:

• what your local bike riding needs are;
• what issues need to be addressed; and
• what opportunities you see to make riding safer, more enjoyable and convenient.

When complete, the Strategy will be used to guide funding decisions and prioritise key bike riding projects.
