Abstract

Local governments play a critical role in the planning and delivery of bicycle transport systems, yet there has been limited research into the status of plans in local governments and how they position urban cycling goals and actions within local and city-wide urban mobility systems. To address this gap, this paper reviews cycle plans in Australian urban local governments using a survey of local government officers and a content analysis of cycle plans. The research addresses three questions: What are the key characteristics of LG cycling plans? How are cycling plans being developed? Are there geographical variations in LG planning for cycling across Australian cities and major regional centres?
