Getting around the City - plan your trip
Bike riding and walking
Bike riding or walking is a fun, healthy and sustainable way of getting around our City. It also provides the opportunity to explore our beautiful landscape, saving time and money.
The City is a participant in the state government’s Your Move program dedicated to supporting and encouraging schools, communities and organisations to walk, wheel, scoot and ride more.
Visit yourmove.org.au to find out how you can get involved.
Maps and trails
Mobile phone apps: Information about the best routes from your location to your destination can be found within the usual navigation apps such as Google Maps or Apple Maps. Just switch your mode of transport to bike. There also are specialised active transport route planning apps such as Komoot you can install and try.
Online maps: If you prefer to plan and map out your journey while still at home or at your desk, we recommend you use the Your Move Journey planner. Your Move also provides active and public transport maps in the form of a PDF, downloadable from their Resources website. Mobile friendly versions of this map can be downloaded to your smart phone or device using a GPS based offline map viewer like the Avenza app.
