1 Introduction The City’s aim is to create a cycle friendly environment that is desirable, accessible and attractive to

a variety of users and provides a credible alternative to vehicle use for 0 - 10km trips. The Wanneroo

Cycle Plan also seeks to create a connected network for commuter cyclists that links regional and

district facilities internal and external to the City.

1.1 Background The City of Wanneroo is one of the fastest growing local governments in Western Australia with a

current population of 212,096 and forecast of 412,996 by 2041. The City is served by three major

north-south arterial roads; Mitchell Freeway, Wanneroo Road and Marmion Avenue, running

parallel through the City. Mitchell Freeway and Wanneroo Road are under the care and control of

Main Roads WA, Marmion Avenue is under the care, control and management of the City.

The Strategic Community Plan (SCP) 2017/18 to 2026/27 was approved by Council in 2017 and

contains four key themes Society; Economy; Environment (Natural and Built) and Civic Leadership.

Implementation of the strategy is supported by the Wanneroo Cycle Plan primarily through

Outcome 3.5 of the Environment (Built) theme which identifies the need for a ‘Connected and

Accessible City’. This theme of the strategy which is supported by the Wanneroo Cycle Plan is

illustrated in Figure 1 below:

Figure 1 – Informing Strategies and Plans

The City is currently developing a Transport Strategy intended to link a suite of subsidiary documents

that supports the City’s incremental shift to more environmentally sustainable transport outcomes.

The City’s Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP), provides the financial framework supporting the delivery

of the Strategic Community Plan outcomes over next 20 years.

1.2 Wanneroo Cycle Plan 2018/19 to 2021/22 The Wanneroo Cycle Plan (the Plan) is a key component to achieving the outcome of a ‘Connected and Accessible City’ (SCP Outcome 3.5) and will also create opportunities to improve community wellbeing through enabling healthy and active lifestyles (SCP Outcome 1.1.1). In order to reflect the strategic and tactical approach to developing a cycling friendly City, the Plan is divided into two parts:

Part 1: Wanneroo Cycle Plan identifies the goals, objectives and actions to align with the City’s

Strategic Community Plan.

Part 2: Implementation Plan providing a detailed list of prioritised infrastructure projects to be

delivered during the 2018/19 to 2021/22 financial years.

The City’s approach is to create a cycle friendly environment that is desirable, accessible and

attractive to a variety of users and provides a credible alternative to vehicle use for 0 - 10km trips.

The plan also seeks to create a connected network for commuter cyclists that links regional and

district facilities internal and external to the City.

The Plan will be delivered in conjunction with projects funded by Western Australian Bicycle

Network (WABN) grants; State Government transport projects such as Metronet rail and Mitchell

Freeway extensions, duplication of Wanneroo Road and the duplication of Marmion Avenue to

Yanchep. The plan also incorporates works to be constructed as part of subdivisional development

or Developer Contribution Scheme (DCP) obligations and projects contained in the City’s long term

financial plan over the next four years.

Elements of the 2008 and 2015 cycle plans have been implemented through inclusion of standard

pedestrian and cycling facilities under the City’s Pathways Policy and scheduling the design of high

priority routes. Future iterations of the Plan will continue to focus on delivering a fast, direct, safe

and interconnected cycling network beyond the current plan, in addition to providing education and

behavioural change programs such as the City’s Your Move and Travel Smart programs.

2 Stakeholders The following groups have been identified as key stakeholders or are involved in some way with

cycling.

Primary Stakeholders

Elected members, staff, residents, schools and businesses of the City of Wanneroo; and

Sporting/leisure associations and cycling organisations in the City of Wanneroo.

State Government Agencies

Department of Transport (DoT);

Main Roads Western Australia (MRWA);

Public Transport Authority (PTA); and

Department of Local Government, Sport and Cultural Industries (DLGSCI).

3 Community Engagement Community workshops were held on the 24, 25 and 30 March 2015 and were well attended by key

stakeholders including Department of Transport, Local Governments, RAC, Main Roads, bicycle user

groups and representatives from the City. These workshops resulted in unanimous support for cycle

planning as an important component of the City’s future direction.

Key issues

Connectivity of cycle paths, including the Freeway PSP and connecting Jindalee to Yanchep;

Construction of missing local network links in Clarkson, Merriwa and Wangara;

The need to differentiate between commuting/sporting and recreational cyclists;

Connections to train stations from Marmion Avenue;

Cyclist safety, particularly at numerous roundabouts within the City;

Education – both for cyclists and motorists;

Training and racing facilities;

Mountain biking facilities; and

Maintenance of existing infrastructure, in particular dealing with debris.

Further consultation will be undertaken by the City as part of the next review of the Wanneroo Cycle

Plan, three years into implementation of the current four year plan. It will also coincide with

completion of major corridor projects such as the Yanchep rail extension and Marmion Avenue

duplication to Yanchep.

Page 6: Wanneroo Cycle Plan · Wanneroo Cycle Plan, 2018/19-2021/22 2 1 Introduction The ity’s aim is to create a cycle friendly environment that is desirable, accessible and attractive

Wanneroo Cycle Plan, 2018/19-2021/22

4 Aim, Goals and Objectives The aim of the Wanneroo Cycle Plan is ……to make cycling an attractive choice in the daily life of

Wanneroo citizens, so that persons of all ages and abilities can cycle safely, by:

Linking key transport nodes to the City’s activity centres and natural environment attractors;

Ensuring cycle facilities are considered in the planning process and working collaboratively

with developers to improve cycling in new developments;

Promoting cycling as an attractive alternative mode of transport;

Promoting links between cycling and the City’s natural assets; and

Promoting the Your Move and TravelSmart behaviour change programs.

These goals will be achieved through five objectives:

1. Implement a prioritised program of projects to complete missing links in the City’s cycling

network by aligning to funding allocated in the City’s Long Term Financial Plan (LTFP);

2. Collaboration with PTA station access strategies in order to guide development and

integration of cycling around existing and emerging train stations at Alkimos, Eglinton and

Yanchep under the Metronet project;

3. Incorporate cycling facilities assessment as part of the City’s planning approvals process to

ensure developers make provision for cycling end of trip facilities, bicycle parking and

improved infrastructure where applicable;

4. Promote the benefits of cycling by supporting state government initiatives and educational

programs;

5. Provide wayfinding through digital or printed mapping to promote use of the City’s shared

path and off-road trail routes.

5 Methodologies

5.1 Active Transport Travel Plans The Plan encourages development of active transport travel plans both as a condition for planning

approvals and to promote increased community awareness to consider cycling to district activity

centres, transport hubs, local schools, education and industrial precincts.

Active transport travel plans will include schools, tertiary education institutions, government

departments, local governments, and major employers. Specific approaches are necessary for

different travel plans and should include:

Planning and provision for end of trip facilities such as bicycle parking, lockers and showers

for new development;

Provide information and promote safe, convenient cycle routes in the vicinity; and

Provide information and promote the benefits of cycling as part of daily travel;

Engaging with local schools to promote cycling from areas within a range of 0 - 5km.

5.2 End of Trip Facilities Secure cycle parking, lockers and showers should be incorporated in new and current developments

where there is the potential to attract new cyclists or cater for existing cyclists. Benefits of providing

end-of-trip facilities can include:

Page 7: Wanneroo Cycle Plan · Wanneroo Cycle Plan, 2018/19-2021/22 2 1 Introduction The ity’s aim is to create a cycle friendly environment that is desirable, accessible and attractive

Wanneroo Cycle Plan, 2018/19-2021/22

6

A healthier, happier workforce or student body;

Higher productivity and better attitudes towards work;

Reduced car parking demands and associated costs;

Reduced driving and improved safety around schools and in centres; and

An improved environmental and healthy image for the organisation.

5.3 Transport Assessment of Development and Planning Applications The Plan intends to utilise guidelines currently available from the Western Australian Planning

Commission and other State and Federal Government agencies when assessing planning

applications, transport impact studies.

The Plan seeks to include cycling infrastructure requirements into transport assessments of new

development applications and planning referrals by applying a systematic assessment process for all

modes of travel. This will include a collaborative approach within the City, responsible for

assessment the various components of planning proposals.

5.4 A Linked Network of Fast, Safe and Direct Cycle Routes The Wanneroo Cycle Plan emphasises provision of improved connection between existing and future

transport hubs and activity centres. A key strategy of the Plan is to focus on implementing missing

links between activity destinations and increase the safety of shared pathway cycle facilities across

the City. The Wanneroo Cycle Plan: 2018/19 - 2021/22 is the first iteration of a plan to deliver the

City’s future network of safe and connected cycling routes beyond 2018-2022, the Plan seeks to

incorporate:

Off-street bidirectional principal shared paths adjacent to the extended Mitchell Freeway

and the Yanchep Rail line;

Off-street shared cycle paths along many of the distributor roads that connect and provide

access to the City’s transport hubs and activity centres;

Inclusion of on-road bicycle lanes in the form of a sealed shoulder as part of design for new

major capital works road projects delivered by the City;

Well-connected networks of primary and secondary routes enabling the choice of cycling for

short trips of 0 - 10km to be encouraged rather than the use of a car; and

Safety, comfort and convenience at intersections along the route.

Over the long term, the Wanneroo Cycle Plan will continue to implement a connected network

around activity centres and transport hubs in line with the City’s Long Term Financial Plan which

currently spans over the next 20 years up to 2039. The City’s Long Term Financial Plan provides

funding to construct specific missing links in the current network prior to developing of the next

iteration of the plan.

The Plan also acknowledges that Council, at its meeting of 16 October 2018, resolved to endorse a

proposed North Coastal Cycling Facility Master Plan. The Plan will continue to support the

development of the proposed facility.

5.5 Connected Places and Activity Centres The plan will create a comprehensive network of safe, comfortable and continuous cycle routes

between activity centres as outlined in Figure 3. The implementation action plan prioritises

5.5.1 Place Framework

The Plan underpins and aligns with the City’s Place Framework approach of working collaboratively

with key stakeholders and the community to identify and implement projects that provide valuable

connections to district and local activity nodes.

5.5.2 Place Management Areas

The City’s Place Framework establishes the focal points for deployment of the above approach and

has informed the prioritisation of the cycle network within each place management area.

There are seven Place Management Areas classified by the Place Framework:

Figure 4 – City of Wanneroo Place Management Areas

5.5.3 Activity Centres

The City has nine (9) existing district and five (5) proposed activity centres as shown in Figure 4. The

plan seeks to ensure district activity centres are well serviced by cycling infrastructure to support a

shift from vehicle dependency to active transport modes.

5.5.3.1 Yanchep Strategic Metropolitan Centre (Future)

The development of Yanchep as a strategic metropolitan centre requires careful consideration to

ensure the integration of land use planning and integrated transport principles in the structure plan

stage of the planning processes. The Wanneroo Cycle Plan acknowledges how the City and State

Government will provide safe connected on-road and off-road cycling facilities between activity

centres as part of the future Yanchep rail precinct structure plan as shown in Appendix A.

5.5.3.2 Wanneroo Secondary Centre

The Wanneroo Town Centre is an existing activity centre currently accommodating many of the

City’s main civic buildings. The Activity Centre Plan should make provision for all forms of alternate

transport, including cycling.

5.5.3.3 Clarkson Secondary Centre

The movement network around Clarkson will need to be reviewed to ensure City can provide safe

and direct cycling links to reduce the centres car dependence.

5.5.3.4 Alkimos Secondary Centre (Future)

Alkimos City Centre is being designed as a transit oriented development (TOD), with a focus in

having fewer car journeys and more trips made by public transport, walking and cycling. Based on

the proposed activities within the city centre, it is estimated there will be approximately 100,000

daily transport trips to/from the centre. Development of the Alkimos activity centre includes a future

rail precinct as part of its structure plan as shown in Appendix A.

5.5.3.5 Two Rocks North Secondary Centre (Future)

Currently Two Rocks North Centre is subject to future structure planning. Provision will be made as

part of the structure planning process to cater for all forms of active transport, including cycling.

5.5.3.6 Girrawheen, Madeley and Alexander Heights District Centres

As these district activity centres are in well-established areas of the City, careful consideration

should be given how the City will retrofit or improve existing cycling infrastructure within the

existing movement network.

5.5.3.7 Butler and Banksia Grove District Centres

Both activity centres are relatively new and well serviced by existing infrastructure however, an

audit will be arranged to identify any missing sections of the network that need to be implemented

as part of Wanneroo Cycle Plan: 2018/19 - 2021/22.

5.5.3.8 Eglinton District Centre (Future)

The Eglinton District Centre is predominately a residential community with services, facilities and

jobs to reflect the immediate needs of the local area. Development of Eglinton as district activity

centre requires a similar level of consideration to ensure that the integration of land use planning

and active transport principles align with the future Eglinton rail precinct structure plan as shown in

Appendix A.

Wanneroo Cycle Plan, 2018/19-2021/22

11

5.6 Links to Existing and Emerging Train Stations Many of the City’s residents access Warwick, Greenwood, Whitfords, Edgewater, Joondalup,

Currambine, Clarkson and Butler train stations located within the City of Joondalup and City of

Wanneroo. It is the intent of this iteration of the cycle plan to accelerate construction the missing

sections of the network to provide residents of the adjacent suburbs within the City of Wanneroo

with a credible alternative to using the car to access the stations. Train stations are also planned at

Alkimos, Eglinton and Yanchep by 2021; all are located along the Perth – Joondalup (Yanchep)

railway line with a projected service running at 10 minute intervals during peak hours and 10 to 15

minute intervals throughout the rest of the day.

By 2021, the majority of City’s activity hubs and residential population will be situated within 0 to

10km of a train station as shown in Figure 5, making cycling a viable alternative to driving as part of

the commuter trip. The Public Transport Authority (PTA) has also taken proactive steps by

undertaking Station Access Strategies at existing train stations and aims to enable a mode shift from

the vehicle dependence to an integrated transit solution. Existing train stations along the Joondalup

line also provide a minimum an 18 bay secure bicycle parking facility. The City will actively

collaborate with the PTA through Metronet to ensure that actions resulting from the Station Access

Strategies align with the Wanneroo Cycle Plan objectives linking key transport hubs.

5.7 Links to the Natural Environment The City has a significant number of natural environmental assets which can be actively promoted to

encourage tourists or members of the wider community to travel to Wanneroo and experience

these destinations through cycling. The plan will provide suitable links from transport hubs and

activity centres to ensure the community can enjoy the benefits the City’s natural assets has to offer.

Currently, a number of off-road cycling and walking trails exist to provide alternative routes of travel

through the City’s natural environment. It is the goal of the Plan to promote access to these trails

through comprehensive mapping and wayfinding, adding value to initiatives such as Your Move and

improving or completing missing links from the shared path network of the ‘built’ environment. The

natural trails and paths within the scope of the Wanneroo Cycle Plan include the following

environmental attractors located within the cycle plan network:

Yaberoo Budjara Heritage Trail – a 28km off-road trail, split into five sections from Neil

Hawkins Park to Yanchep National Park.

Yellagonga Regional Park – provides high quality shared pathways from Hepburn Avenue to

Joondalup Drive and links the entire Lake Joondalup within the City of Joondalup. Missing

links to the network of shared paths through the park are proposed to be completed as part

of Wanneroo Cycle Plan at Backshall Place, Wanneroo; Drovers Place, Wanneroo and Chianti

Estate, Woodvale.

Yanchep National Park - links to the national park will be created through shared path

construction as part of the rail and Mitchell Freeway extensions. Improvements to the

shared path link along Yanchep Beach Road will also complement access as a result of

developer works and upgrades under the Wanneroo Cycle Plan.

10th Lighthorse Trail – a 1.2km commemorative heritage trail in Neerabup National Park

following the site of the second camp of the 10th Light Horse regiment in Wanneroo during

World War Two.

Cockatoo Walking Trail - a 17.5 kilometre loop walk through the coastal plain vegetation of

Yanchep National Park. Links to this trail will also be created through shared path

construction as part of the rail and Mitchell Freeway extensions. Improvements to the

shared path link along Yanchep Beach Road will also complement access to this trail as a

result of developer works and upgrades under the Wanneroo Cycle Plan.

South Mindarie Walking Trail - this reserve is 408 hectares in area and will connect with the

proposed coastal shared path from Burns Beach to Mindarie.

Gumblossom Reserve Walking Trail - Gumblossom Reserve retains about five hectares of

native vegetation typical to the area prior to the development of the Quinns Rocks town site

in the 1960s. Cycle routes in Gumblossom Reserve run along the coastal shared pathway and

Marmion Avenue and are linked to the trail by Quinns Road.

Mindarie Foreshore and Kinsale Park Walking Trail – a shared path connection between

Kinsale Park and Lighthouse Park will further link this walking trail to the cycle network

through a shared path proposed on Duncannon rise.

5.8 Education

5.8.1 Promoting the Benefits of Cycling

There are major benefits attributed to increased levels of exercise and cycling resulting in a variety

of social, environmental, economic and community benefits which need to be promoted within the

community. Key benefits include:

Reduced congestion on the road network – increased levels of cycling simply leads to fewer

cars on the road networks, reducing congestion and travel times for all road users.

Improved health and fitness - the Australian National Physical Activity Guidelines

recommends 30 minutes of physical activity each day. This level of required physical activity

can be achieved through cycling undertaken for either recreational or transport purposes.

Improved accessibility to activities by people of all ages - cycling can provide independent

mobility to young people and others without access to a car.

Energy efficiency and less use of petrol and fossil fuels - increased cycling contributes to

reduced car use and hence reduction in the use of fossil fuels, leading to improved air quality

and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.

Improved safety - the awareness of cyclists improves and cycling becomes a safer mode of

travel through safety in numbers. Countries with high levels of cycling have a much lower

rate of cyclist fatalities and serious injuries than is the case in Western Australia.

Cost savings - the RAC WA has estimated the annual cost of car ownership in WA is more

than $8000, $10,000 and $12,000 for small, medium and large vehicles respectively.

5.8.2 Way Finding

Successful wayfinding requires delivery of a well-considered information and signage system that

provides clear direction to major activity centres, schools, train stations and natural environment

attractors for cyclists.

5.8.3 Safety and Skills Training

The City aims to play an active role with respect to safety and skills training for cyclists in

collaboration with groups such as the Department of Transport, the Road Safety Commission and

the RAC given there is the need for improved education across all levels of cycling. Key components

include:

Promoting bicycle skills training for children in collaboration with local schools;

Campaign through the local media to promote the Wanneroo Cycle Plan and the benefits of

cycling more generally and to promote and encourage participation in skills and education

programs for cyclists and drivers;

Add value to programs delivered by other organisations to improve the skills and road rules

training targeted at children in collaboration with local schools;

Awareness programmes and campaigns for safe cycling targeted at both motorists and

cyclists in conjunction with the Road Safety Commission and the RAC and including

advertisements and focus articles in the local media; and

Behaviour change programs, such as Your Move and Travel Smart, will encourage greater

levels of cycling participation.
