Active Transport Plan
The City of Wanneroo is pleased to announce the new Active Transport Plan to deliver our vision to provide safe, connected and reliable active transport options to the community.
The Active Transport Plan aims to create a safe, connected and reliable active transport environment that is attractive to a variety of users and provides a credible alternative to vehicle use for local trips of 0 - 10km.
It seeks to enable people to move around easily and feel safe in public places by delivering infrastructure and strategies that encourage the community to consider modes of active transport such as walking and cycling including eRideables.
This plan supports the City’s strategic goals of creating a well-planned, safe and resilient City that is easy to travel around and provides a connection between people and places, and creating a balanced and sustainable transport future.

Why cycle?
There are significant benefits that cycling brings to both individuals and the broader community, including:
- Reduced congestion on the road network
- Improved health and fitness
- Energy efficiency and less use of petrol and fossil fuels
- Cost savings to Governments
- Less cost to individuals
- Improved accessibility to activities by people of all ages.
eRideables
New legislation under the WA Government Road Traffic Code 2000 enables the use of eRideables on public roads and pathways. As the regulations controlling the use of these devices are contained in the Road Traffic Code, enforcement is managed by the WA Police.

Your Move is a free program that provides handy information and support to help you find more active, healthy ways to get around. We work with individuals, schools and workplaces to find ways to spend less time in the car and more time doing the things you really enjoy.
Whether it's finding places near you that you can walk or ride to, working from home a couple of times a week or walking with your kids to school, thousands of West Australians are making small, sustainable changes to how they’re getting around.
