ADELAIDE PLAINS COUNCIL
Project: Two Wells Walking Cycling Plan
The Two Wells Walking Cycling Plan is a modest, yet innovative movement strategy demonstrating excellence in planning, practical thinking, inclusive and achievable outcomes, and strategic alignment across local, regional, and national scales.
The Plan effectively addresses immediate active transport needs while taking a forwardthinking approach to support the town’s projected growth. It acknowledges the current low-density and car-dominated context on Adelaide’s fringe, which offers little to encourage walking and cycling, and proposes appropriate actions to address this. The Plan’s comprehensive and coordinated approach to sustainable movement, with a focus on recreation, health and wellbeing, aligns well with broader planning objectives.
The public consultation process and collaboration with experts helped to identify positive and tangible interventions, some of which have already been successfully implemented.
The Two Wells Walking Cycling Plan provides an exemplary model for supporting active movement in a peri-urban context, demonstrating the impact of thoughtful strategic planning on improving community well-being and promoting active lifestyles.
Congratulations to the Adelaide Plains Council.
