Transport for NSW is seeking community feedback on the Walkable NSW Discussion Paper

This is the first step in developing a Walking Strategy for NSW to make walking easier, safer and more accessible for everyone. We want to know how we can support walking as NSW continues to grow, especially around centres, transport hubs and regional towns.

Roundtable discussions with key stakeholders including councils, advocacy groups, industry and delivery partners will be held in mid 2026.

If you are a community member that would like to contribute to the online roundtable discussions, please reach out to the project team at walkingnsw@transport.nsw.gov.au and provide some detail on your background and why you would like to be part of the roundtable conversations.

Tell us what you think

Read through the discussion paper and provide your feedback via the ideas board below on how we can improve the way we:

• Prioritise walking in policy, planning, infrastructure and operations – by enabling consistent scalable delivery
• Enable walkable and vibrant neighbourhoods – through early integration in growth areas and pedestrian focused streets
• Enhance walking for recreation and tourism – by creating continuous walking corridors and destination routes
• Promote and encourage walking as a safe first choice – by increasing every day and recreational walking

This feedback will help us in identifying the barriers, concerns and local priorities for walking in NSW. It will inform the next stage of development to ensure the walking strategy best meets the needs of the community now and into the future.
