Council adopted the Bathurst Community Access and Cycling Plan in 2011. Council produced the Plan in-house and undertook extensive community consultation with key stakeholders. A range of projects have been completed under the 2011 Plan, which has been reported to Council periodically.

Actions 3.2, 3.4, 3.10, 3.14 and 14.4 of the Bathurst Regional Local Strategic Planning Statement identify the need to review the current Bathurst Community Access and Cycling Plan and develop a new Active Transport Plan. Likewise, strategies 1.5, 3.3, 4.2, 4.6, 5.1 and 5.3 of the Bathurst Regional Community Strategic Plan embeds the community’s desire to include active transport, including walking and cycling, into the region’s urban areas. The Bathurst Active Transport Strategy will fulfil a number of strategies and actions of these important Strategic documents.

The Bathurst Active Transport Strategy will consider walking, cycling and e-riding activities within the Bathurst Region. To ensure that the views of the broadest possible cross section of the community are consulted during the Strategy’s development, Council has engaged Taverner Research to undertake the community consultation process. The consultation process will include a phone survey, targeted workshops and an on-line survey. The aim of the consultation process is to establish baseline participation rates of the Bathurst Region Community in walking, cycling and e-riding and to identify what changes to the active transport network might promote greater participation rates into the future.

Taverner Research completed phone and opt-in surveys from 6-21 November 2021. Invitation stakeholder workshops were held on 23 & 24 November. Taverner Research has completed the interpretation of the survey and a report was presented to Council on 16 March 2022 outlining the results of the survey.
