Active Transport Footpaths
Overview
Tamworth’s Active Transport Strategy, a key part of the Tamworth Integrated Transport Masterplan within Blueprint 100, aims to make it easier for more local residents to walk or cycle around the city. New footpaths and pram ramps are being constructed at a range of locations across Tamworth to make it easier for residents to walk or cycle. The locations for the paths have been identified to enable residents to walk or cycle between schools or other community facilities.
Funding
The project was made possible by the NSW Government’s “Get NSW Active” program. Funding for the footpaths totals $1,318,250.
