3.6Develop City of Albany Bike Plan

The City of Albany Bike Plan 2025–2030 provides a framework to guide the development of cycling infrastructure and programs to support safe and accessible bike riding for all ages and abilities.

Developed with funding support from the Department of Transport and in alignment with the   Great Southern 2050 Cycling Strategy , the plan sets out practical actions that reflect Albany’s unique opportunities and constraints. It emphasises the role of bike riding in reducing congestion, supporting healthy lifestyles, improving access to local destinations, and contributing to broader sustainability and liveability goals.

The plan has a vision of a community where riding a bike for transport or enjoyment is safe and accessible for all ages and abilities. The actions in the plan are structured around four focus areas:

• Infrastructure – delivering safe, connected and inclusive bike routes, facilities and crossing points;
• Activation, Engagement and Education – building community awareness, skills and motivation to ride;
• Policy and Planning – embedding cycling into City processes and land use planning; and
• Advocacy – influencing external stakeholders and unlocking funding and collaboration opportunities.
