FAQs

Once a review is complete, the Maroondah Bicycle Network Plan will be formalised and will provide an action plan for the next decade. It will guide Council's advocacy and investment in cycling infrastructure, bike education and behaviour change initiatives to get more people on bicycles or walking for transport and around their neighbourhoods.

Maroondah 2040: The Community Vision outlines the vision for Maroondah’s transport network, including the bicycle network as:

‘In 2040, Maroondah will be accessible for all ages and abilities with walkable neighbourhoods, sustainable transport options, and a safe integrated transport network.’

The review will not seek to change or alter this vision. Opportunities to provide input on the vision will be made available by the Maroondah 2050 consultation.  

The bicycle network has priorities the building and management an accessible, connected, safe network of bike lanes, pathways, trails and footpaths.

It is Council's position to upgrade or alter existing bicycle facilities to resolve conflicts and to improve the experience for all road, pathway or trail users.

The Victorian Road Rules are legislated by the Government of Victoria. Accordingly, the review will not consider feedback on the Victorian Road Rules.

If a bicycle route is proposed along your street it will be shown in the draft Maroondah Bicycle Network Plan. The public will have the opportunity to provide comment on the draft Plan when it is released on exhibition.  

Both Council and Department of Transport and Planning  are responsible for bicycle routes within Maroondah. Bicycle routes primarily located along the arterial road network are the responsibility of Department of Transport and Planning. Bicycle routes located along the local road network are generally installed and maintained by Council.  

All comments received will be assessed and investigated by Council and a consultant. A summary report of the consultation results will be released on the Maroondah Bicycle Network Review webpage.
