The workshops will occur in Beechwood, Telegraph Point, North Shore, Comboyne and Long Flat to assist Council in preparing a draft Small Villages Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan.
“Footpaths are a part of everyday life, providing the basis for recreation and physical activity, enabling access to the many areas of our community, and creating a sense of connectivity,” said council director Jeffery Sharp.
“It is important that we hear from our community that utilise our footpaths, as this will assist Council in developing a plan that addresses the barriers to people getting around, and ensure better pedestrian infrastructure is provided at critical locations.”
The draft Small Villages Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan will act as a blueprint to assist Council in determining future pedestrian and mobility works programs and funding opportunities.
The workshops will be held at:
Beechwood Community Hall - 4pm, Friday October 14; Telegraph Point Community Hall - 10am, Saturday October 15; North Shore Kangaroo Park - 4pm, Friday October 21; Comboyne Community Hall - 10am, Saturday October 22; Long Flat Community Hall - 2pm, Saturday October 22.
There is no need to register for the workshops, and light refreshments will be provided.
“After the workshops there is also the option to join a 30 minute walking tour with Council staff to look at high priority areas,” said Mr Sharp.
If joining the walking tour please wear comfortable closed shoes, bring a hat and a water bottle. Further information can be found at pmhclistening.com.au or by calling council on 6581 8111.
