Ipswich City Council has developed an Active Transport Action Plan to guide the planning, delivery and promotion of facilities and programs to encourage more people to walk and cycle for transport purposes in Ipswich.The Action Plan is a key deliverable of the City of Ipswich Transport Plan (iGO) and will assist with providing a sustainable transport future for the city.

ConsultationIn order to help shape a realistic action plan, focused community consultation was undertaken via an online survey in early 2016.
The survey asked the community to provide input on whether they were, or were not, currently walking or cycling for transport purposes, their level of comfort with respect to different conditions and what they identified as barriers/enablers for them.
Information obtained from the survey provided valuable insight into pedestrian and cyclist needs in the Ipswich community.

Cycle Network PrioritiesThe Principal Cycle Network Plan (PCNP) routes were identified as the most important to construct with regards to the cycle network plan prioritisation, therefore creating a base arterial cycle network for Ipswich. Key links recognised as a very high priority include:
Pedestrian Network PrioritiesThe prioritisation process for the pedestrian network plan was undertaken on an area basis. Separate criteria were developed for each of the major proposed pedestrian generators identified in the pedestrian network plan. The following summarises the very high priorities for each of the pedestrian generator types:
Deebing Creek Bikeway
Ipswich Central to Yamanto/Ripley (via South St, Thorn St and the Deebing Creek corridor)
Brassall Bikeway (Stage 6) Ipswich Central to North Ipswich
Glebe Rd Ipswich Central to Booval
Bradfield Bridge Links
Integration with the Ipswich Mall redevelopment and other inner city connections
RAAF Base Amberley Southern Amberley Rd
Goodna Creek Bikeway Collingwood Park to Redbank Plains
‘Western Ipswich Link’
Ipswich Central to Leichardt (via Roderick St, Omar St and Old Toowoomba Rd)
Brassall Bikeway (Stage 5)
Brassall to Karrabin
South St East St to Ellenborough St
Bremer St Olga St to Ellenborough St

Project DeliverablesThe project produced the following deliverables:
● Baseline data on the current state of walking and cycling in Ipswich
● An existing Ipswich resident walker and cyclist market profile;
● Identification of an active transport vision and objectives;
● Cycle and pedestrian network hierarchies (including desirable management characteristics for each category of the hierarchy);
● Maps of the pedestrian and cycle networks;
● Actions to advance the three iGO active transport policy areas;
● Identification of priorities for delivery; and
● Identification of mechanisms to monitor the performance of the action plan.

Actions 1.1-1.4 & 2.1-2.2
Plan, design and construct the identified pedestrian and cycle network priorities mentioned previously.
Action 3.4
Trial and measure ‘Pop up’ pedestrian and cycle infrastructure (e.g. pedestrian squares, protected bike lanes, lunch time street closures in activity centre) and tie with community events to gather feedback and interest.
iGO Policy Focus: Developing Supportive Active Transport Communities
Action 6.1
Develop, advocate and implement a Way Finding Strategy focused around railway stations, other key public transport hubs and activity centres.
Action 6.2
Where possible incorporate non-deciduous shade trees along pedestrian and cycle paths. Coordinate/integrate with other Council activities where possible or develop a Shadeways Program.
iGO Policy Focus: Growing An Active Transport Culture
Action 8.2
Undertake an ‘Active Towns’ style program (involving infrastructure and promotion) in the priority neighbourhoods of:• Brassall/North Ipswich (with the Brassall Bikeway);• Redbank Plains, Collingwood Park and adjacent suburbs (with the
Goodna Creek Bikeway);• Yamanto and other southern suburbs (with the Deebing Creek
