Walking Network Plans

Tablelands Regional Council is seeking input from the community to help identify the short and long-term walking needs for Atherton, Malanda and Yungaburra. We want to hear from you to pinpoint where more/improved/different footpaths and connections can be established across these three townships. We want to understand main routes of pedestrian traffic and build a more complete picture of our current network of pedestrian infrastructure.

TRC will look to expand these plans to our other major townships through the existing funding program.

Please complete the survey and/or use the interactive map to provide input on specific locations.

Your opportunity to give feedback on this invaluable part of public infrastructure closes on Monday 14 April 2025.

TRC has secured funding as part of the Walking Local Government Grants program to develop Walking Network Plans for Atherton, Malanda and Yungaburra. This program, administered by the Department of Transport and Main Roads, is focused on outcomes which achieve the vision of the Queensland Walking Strategy.

Queensland Walking Strategy vision for walking “An easy choice for everyone, every day.”

Queensland Walking Strategy 2019-2029

This funding is intended to assist local governments in planning for future community’s active transport needs. The Walking Network plans will allow TRC to plan and prioritise improvements and upgrades and will assist in grant funding applications.
