Council has secured funding through the Transport Accident Commission (TAC) Local Government Grant Program for the Active Transport Plan 2025–2030. The funding program supports projects aligned with the Victorian Road Safety Strategy 2021–2030 and safe system principles to reduce crashes, particularly those involving pedestrians and cyclists.
The draft Active Transport Plan 2025–2030 (the draft Plan) has been prepared by specialist transport planning consultancy, Eukai. The draft Plan provides a strategic framework to support a connected, accessible, and safer active transport network for Benalla, and aligns with broader transport and safety objectives.
The draft Plan:
- defines a strategic active transport network for Benalla.
- identifies priority projects and key transport connections.
- outlines an implementation framework to guide project delivery.
Development of the draft Plan has included technical analysis, community and stakeholder engagement. It incorporates feedback received through community surveys, stakeholder consultation, and targeted engagement activities.
Council invites the community to review the strategy and provide feedback using the submission form below. Submissions close Wednesday 20 May 2026. The draft plan can be found within the document library on this page.
