Action Plan for Walking: 2008 - 2010 (QLD)
The Action for Walking: 2008 - 2010 sets out to achieve a vision for Queensland where people from all sectors of the community are able to choose to walk for transport and enjoyment. This in turn will help to create a healthier population, connected communities, and an integrated, affordable and sustainable transport system. There are 8 action areas, based on the principles in the International Charter for Walking, with each action identifying the lead and partner agency, the target group and priority.
The 8 action areas are:
- A culture of walking
- Increased inclusive mobility
- Well designed and managed spaces and places for people
- Improved integration of networks
- Supportive land-use and spatial planning
- Reduced road danger
- Increase security and safety
- More supportive authorities
