This paper will cover the philosophy behind Council's commitment to cycling, the strategic basis for developing its cycling network, its planning approach including community consultation, innovative designs and treatments used to deliver facilities that offer a high level of service to cyclists and the results of regular bicycle counting. It will detail approaches and designs that have worked well, those that have not and key learnings from these. The paper will also cover Council policies and programs aimed at encouraging cycling by Council staff to work and for work purposes including bicycle training, purchase of Council bikes and support of the Yarra Staff Bicycle Users Group.
