Scenic Rim Integrated Transport Plan 2025-2035

The Scenic Rim is one of Queensland’s fastest growing and diversifying regions. By 2041, Scenic Rim are expecting a population over 75,000.

To support this population growth, Council has developed an Integrated Transport Plan (ITP) to ensure that our transport networks and regional connectivity will grow with the population. This plan will guide upgrades to the roads, walking and cycling and public transport networks, ensuring efficient, reliable, safe and accessible transport options are available for all of us. The ITP encourages a Scenic Rim Active Transport Plan 2025-2035, this plan includes a review of the existing walking and cycling infrastructure gaps, community input and visitor needs. It then established an active transport network to meet the needs of growth in the region.

Scenic Rim Active Transport Plan 2025-2035

Active modes of transport are the most basic and equitable forms of transport available. Most individual trips, regardless of the mode of transport, begin and end with active transport. Active transport involves people walking and cycling. Beyond enhancing connectivity, development of active transport networks is proven to improve public health outcomes by increasing physical activity and social stimulation.

The Active Transport Plan (ATP) is a component of the Integrated Transport Plan intended to guide Council’s ongoing provision of the pedestrian and cycling routes and facilities within Scenic Rim, with a focus on encouraging and increasing local pedestrian and cyclist activity. Pedestrians include people who are: walking or running, pushing a pram, in a wheelchair, using a mobility scooter, using a skateboard, foot scooter or rollerblades. Cyclists include people using road bikes, electric bikes, cargo bikes, mountain bikes, adaptive bicycles, etc.
