Implementation Plans for following stages will be

This Implementation Plan does not duplicate
background information found in the Bicycle Strategy,
but presents tangible actions that will be pursued by
Council in partnership with key stakeholders over the
next two years. The delivery of all actions will be
subject to relevant stakeholder approvals as well as
community engagement to ensure a quality outcome

Several actions may involve complex treatments or
constrained environments where further feasibility work
is required to determine the most suitable design
outcome. Some of these actions may also be subject
to extensive stakeholder consultation and approvals.
For these actions, Council will undertake feasibility
investigation work and consultation to assess various
options and arrive at a preferred solution before
considering the proposal for funding (or advocating to
the State Government for proposals meeting the
criteria outlined in the following paragraph).
