Both walking and cycling have many benefits to health, environment, and general wellbeing and so I see it as essential to encourage, invest and grow active transport locally to improve the liveability and connectivity of our community.

I was pleased to learn of Bike North’s priorities firsthand on my ‘Tour de Willoughby’ cycle throughout Willoughby, engagement I look forward to doing regularly.
Part of my vision for Willoughby is to grow active transport in our area as our geographically compact location means active modes of travel just make sense. … Read more
