Following the council meeting held on April 22, the draft Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan 2025-2030 and the draft Active Transport Plan 2025-2030 are now open for public feedback for a period of 28 days.
The public exhibition period will close on May 21.
The draft Road Safety Strategy and Action Plan 2025-2030 outlines a comprehensive approach to reducing road trauma and improving safety across the municipality.
It focuses on creating safer road environments, promoting safe speeds, and supporting safe road users.
Alongside the safety strategy, the draft Active Transport Plan 2025-2030 aims to encourage walking, cycling, and other physical modes of travel within Benalla.
This plan identifies opportunities to enhance local infrastructure, create better pathway connections, and promote healthier, more sustainable transport options for people of all ages and mobility levels.
The feedback collected will directly inform the final versions of both plans, ensuring they meet the needs of the growing community.
Copies of the plans are available for viewing on the Benalla Rural City Council website.
Physical copies can also be accessed at the Benalla Civic Centre. Written submissions can be made online or sent directly to the council office before the consultation period concludes.
