Help shape active transport in the Mackay region for the next 10 years

Mackay Regional Council invites you to share your thoughts on active transport in the Mackay region.

Take the 10-minute Mackay Active Transport and Micromobility Plan survey to help council gain valuable input about how best to improve walking and riding infrastructure across the region.

Community feedback will help shape the future of our pathways, cycleways, road crossings and connections to key destinations.

Whether you walk, ride a bike or ride a scooter, or are simply interested in safer and more accessible transport options, council would like to hear from you.

Active transport includes walking, riding and rolling on any device that requires human power for movement. Micromobility devices are lightweight, electric powered transport services, such as e-scooters and mobility scooters.

Take the survey now, visit  www.connectingmackay.com.au/active-transport

Survey closes on Sunday, April 27 at 11.59pm.
