The NSW Government is committed to encouraging people to walk or bike ride as part of their everyday travel. The Get NSW Active program offers councils funding to deliver projects that create safe, easy, and enjoyable walking and bike riding trips.

The objective of the Get NSW Active program is to support the development and delivery of walking and cycling projects that:

• Contribute to continuous and connected walking and cycling networks across NSW that connect communities to local destinations

• Enable more people to safely walk and ride as part of their everyday travel

• Facilitate children’s and young people’s independent mobility by improving safe walking and bike riding options for travel to and from school

• Support multi-modal journeys by integrating active and public transport

• Deliver quality place outcomes that contribute to vibrant places, and liveable neighbourhoods that support local lifestyles

• Enable and encourage behaviour change and shift community perception towards walking and cycling as everyday travel options for short trips

• Deliver walking and cycling connections that enable all people, regardless of gender, to move freely within their communities.

This program is administered by Transport for NSW.
