Review the draft walk, cycle, trails strategy

Published on 28 March 2025

The MidCoast’s first draft Walking, Cycling and Trail-based Activities Strategy is available for community review until Wednesday 7 May.

“Walking and cycling are very popular activities and we are working closely with our community to develop a 10-year strategy that helps people enjoy them,” said MidCoast Council’s Director of Liveable Communities, Paul De Szell.

In 2022, the community provided information about their preferred walk / cycle routes and trail-based activities. This feedback was used to develop the Open Spaces and Recreation Strategy.

“In 2024, we took that feedback to the community to help us develop this strategy. The draft strategy has actions to improve walking, cycling and trail-based experiences across our region,” said Mr De Szell.

Council is now seeking community feedback on the draft strategy, which has been prepared considering all of the feedback provided over those consultations.

Other suggestions received form part of Council's Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan and are included in that plan.

You can view the plan at www.midcoast.nsw.gov.au/walkandcycle and leave any feedback until Wednesday 7 May.

If you’re not online, you can drop your written feedback into one of our customer service centres or send to PO Box 482 Taree NSW 2430. Mail must reach us by 7 May.

All feedback will be considered for inclusion in the final draft Walking, Cycling and Trails-based Activity Strategy.
