Sunshine Coast Active Transport Plan

Council adopted the Sunshine Coast Active Transport Plan 2011-2031 at its Ordinary Meeting on Wednesday 2 February 2011.

Draft Active Transport Plan

Much has changed since 2011 when the current Sunshine Coast Active Transport Plan was adopted. To support our region over the next 10 years as it grows and more people move about our community, Council has prepared a Draft Sunshine Coast Active Transport Plan (draft plan). The draft plan has been informed and shaped by broad community engagement activities undertaken in June 2024 and helped Council to understand the community’s perceptions and use of active transport. 

In October 2025 Council undertook a second phase of engagement to share the draft plan and Aspirational walking and riding network maps. This provided an opportunity to check with our community:

  • that we heard them correctly during our first phase of community engagement
  • whether anything had been missed from the three priority areas for action and the detailed action plan.   

Background

The Sunshine Coast Active Transport Plan 2011-2031 sets an achievable vision, which sees walking and cycling playing an essential part in creating an integrated transport system for the Sunshine Coast. The plan supports the Integrated Transport Strategy and provides more detail on the planning and delivery of active transport priorities.

Overview

Walking and cycling will play an important transport role in the future. Increasingly, active transport will help deliver improved mobility, safer streets, healthier residents and reduced impact on global climate, all resulting in a world-class quality of life.

Progress

Following the adoption of the Active Transport Plan in 2011, Council continues to deliver progress on actions across the seven key priority areas.

In 2021, Council commissioned the latest in a series of surveys to obtain accurate data on walking and cycling participation and perceptions by Sunshine Coast residents. The National cycling participation survey Sunshine Coast (2021) report outlines survey findings on participation and perception and provides comparisons with Queensland and Regional Queensland data.

These findings will provide a benchmark for measuring future progress for walking and cycling.
