Review our draft Local Bike Plan
Following community consultation, we have developed a draft Local Bike Plan which we hope brings together many benefits for the community, and helps get more wheels moving across Armadale!
We are now sharing the draft Local Bike Plan as part of a second consultation because we want your feedback again before we finalise the Plan.
Please review our draft Local Bike Plan and tell us what you think by leaving a comment at the bottom of this page.
Consultation is open until 5pm, Sunday 6 October 2024!
Background
Armadale's Local Bike Plan will guide the City’s investment in cycling infrastructure over the next five years. Working with the Department of Transport, the Local Bike Plan will use the State government’s Long Term Cycle Network (LTCN) as its basis. Within that network we are seeking to identify priority projects and actions.
Earlier this year, we engaged with the community to seek feedback and ideas on developing a draft Local Bike Plan. We held two community drop-in sessions in March as well as a broad consultation.
We look forward to your feedback on our draft Local Bike Plan!
This project is jointly funded by the Department of Transport and the City of Armadale

Thank you for taking the time to provide your feedback on our draft Local Bike Plan. We look forward to reviewing your comments.
CLOSED: This discussion has concluded.
As regular cyclists within the city we love that you are taking the uptake of cycling seriously and have been impressed with the improvements we have seen so far ... however as we ride down (and up) Brookton highway around 3 times a week I would like to make a suggestion ... We don't expect there to be a duel use cycalway anytime soon (although that would be nice) it would be great with a upgrade and maintenance to the current bike lane on the side of the highway that would include more signage to identify it as a bike lane and more importantly regular sweeping to reduce honky nuts rubbish and other debris that builds up making it dangerous at times.

The kids of Piara Waters have no where to ride there bikes and jump a lot of them can’t get to John Dunn so something like that even a bit smaller would be amazing I know it will definitely get used!

Would love to see a footpath finally installed on Mason Road to connect it to Warton Road - this has been promised for many years and still the City of Armadale can't say when it will happen. Would also like to see the footpath that was removed on the corner of Southampton Drive and Mannhein Crescent with the Ayana Estate development replaced (since they removed the existing one and did not install a replacement as part of their works). The kids in the western portion of Piara Waters are desperate for somewhere safe to ride and jump their bikes and the proximity to the new high school makes it an ideal location. There is currently not anywhere locally, or further away, that they can safely access by bike where they can do this. In general, there are limited facilities for the older children in this area and the City of Armadale could support their mental and physical health by providing such a space.

Some of my biggest concerns about cycling in the City have been addressed (finally connecting up that railway PSP, improved directions) but I feel it does not extend far enough to promote cycling as a viable alternative method of transport. For one, one of my largest concerns when I cycle in the city is if I can lock my bike up, so that it doesn’t get stolen. I would appreciate if there were bike racks installed at every City of Armadale facility eg. parks and event spaces, so that bike parking is never more than a short walk from my final destination. Also, I believe that small roads and cul-de-sacs would be much improved by a speed limit of 30 km/h, so that other road users and particularly kids can feel safer playing in their own environment. And finally - although it is a pipe dream - I hope the City will consider making subsidies available for purchasing e-bikes, as they are an extremely useful tool in replacing the two-thirds of car journeys less than 5km because they require less effort. Studies indicate that the reward for a municipality implementing an e-bike subsidy scheme can be as much as 1.5x the cost, although would likely be a little less for an Australian LGA.
That all said, this plan provides significant and welcome improvements to cycling in the City of Armadale and certainly will better the experience of cyclists here.

Plan looks good, however there needs to be more emphasis on path maintenance, as most of the paths particular down Armadale road are cracked and littered with tree branches and honkey nuts etc. Path's also need to stop abruptly ending i.e. Armadale Road before Haynes Shopping Centre.
