Footpaths and the Pedestrian Access Strategy

Pedestrian Access Strategy

The Pedestrian Access Strategy has been developed to improve the connectivity and integration of the Shire’s path network, with a focus on the pedestrian experience of walking.

 The strategy aims to create safe, accessible and connected pedestrian networks that facilitate pedestrian movement to key destinations.

The Principal Pedestrian Network

The Principal Pedestrian Network (PPN) is a mapped network of integrated and connected routes which encourage pedestrian movement, whilst also supporting safe and accessible travel into and around key destinations. The PPN has identified a network of streets throughout the Peninsula where new footpaths are needed and where existing footpaths form part of the network.

The paths identified on the Principal Pedestrian Network are prioritised by the Pedestrian Access Strategy where consideration is given to network priority, pedestrian demand, site constraints and road safety. The highest ranked paths are then proposed for funding under the annual capital works budget bid process.

 The principal pedestrian Network has been developed for each township that falls within the urban growth boundary on the Mornington Peninsula.

New Footpaths

The Principal Pedestrian Network will be the focus of new footpath construction throughout the Peninsula. However, new footpath requests that fall outside the Principal Pedestrian Network, will be also considered under the Pedestrian Access Strategy to be funded via a special charge scheme, where property owners deemed to gain a special benefit from the works are required to contribute towards the cost of the project.

Further information on the special charge scheme.
