# SLL5.1d Off-road active transport network - Detailed design

# Applies to

Large (60-249) and very large (250+ lots) subdivisions

# Objective

To provide for walking (including persons with impaired mobility), cycling, public transport and other motor vehicles in an integrated manner.

To contribute to reduced car dependence, improved energy efficiency, improved transport efficiency, reduced greenhouse gas emissions and reduced air pollution.

# Summary

Better practice is awarded where the off-road cycling or shared path network meets minimum design standards. To meet the standard, the path network must:

  • Be a minimum of 2 metres wide, and wider where possible to support safe and comfortable use.
  • Minimise and control road crossing points to improve safety and continuity for cyclists and pedestrians.

These elements should be demonstrated in the subdivision’s engineering or streetscape plans, showing how the network supports safe, accessible, and efficient active transport.

# Documentation & evidence required

  • Subdivision Design Response: Plans include 'Off Road Active Transport' layer, clearly showing width of shared path network. Road crossing points are marked and control measures shown and annotated.
  • Engineering Plan (Functional Layout Plan): Plans include 'Off Road Active Transport' layer, clearly showing width of shared path network. Road crossing points are marked and control measures shown and annotated.
