1 Introduction

A bicycle network is a defined set of routes, both on and off-road, that make it possible to

travel around a region by bike in a safe and connected manner.

The Port Macquarie-Hastings Bike Plan is a strategic document to assist in the coordinated

approach to delivering cycling infrastructure. It establishes cycling objectives for the region

and identifies the actions needed to achieve these objectives. The overarching aim is to

increase safe cycling levels in our community, for both transport and recreation.

Bikeplans were prepared in the late 1990s for the main urban areas of Port Macquarie-

Hastings and for regional connectivity between these areas. These have guided ongoing

cycleway construction. The region now has a network of on and off-road cycleways but at

this stage the network lacks connectivity.

The new bike plan will provide revised action plans to continue the ongoing development of

the bicycle network both within and linking the main urban areas of the region.

The Bike Plan will align with Council’s key principles and objectives identified in the Towards

2030 Community Strategic Plan, the Urban Growth Management Strategy 2010 and the

Transport Strategy 2014.

The Bike Plan will also align with the State Government’s NSW Long Term Transport Master

Plan 2012, the Mid North Coast Regional Transport Plan 2013 and the National Cycling

Strategy 2011-2016.

2 Bike Plan Objectives

The main aim of the Port Macquarie-Hastings Bike Plan is to address barriers to cycling

related to infrastructure by providing a better and more connected bicycle network.

The Port Macquarie-Hastings Bike Plan will be used to:

Provide a planning framework for the necessary infrastructure to provide for a safer and

more comfortable cycling environment.

Increase the proportion of all trips - by residents, workers and visitors - that are

undertaken by bike.

Increase general health and fitness, reduce car dependency, improve air quality and

decrease greenhouse gas emissions.

Identify and improve bicycle tourism opportunities.

Identify the short and longer term actions capable of being financed within agreed

timeframes that will result in positive benefits to the local and regional community.

Provide a focus to advocate the lobbying of State and Federal Government for funding

assistance.

residents ride in a typical week


3 Background and Context

3.1 Data Collection and Analysis

The Port-Macquarie-Hastings bike network continues to be improved and expanded. New or

upgraded main roads generally include shoulder bike lanes and occasionally shared paths

within the road reserve, but most roads do not have such facilities. Off-road shared paths

have been constructed in some new land release areas, along some main roads and along

creek and coastal corridors.

Council and Roads & Maritime Services (RMS) undertake regular counts of vehicular traffic

but these do not include bicycle traffic. It is therefore difficult to gain accurate data on current

cycling levels in the Port Macquarie-Hastings area.

Data from the 2011 Census shows that approximately 150 people cycle to work on a typical

day in the Port Macquarie-Hastings Local Government Area (LGA). This compares to over

20,000 people who use a car for the same trip purpose. The number of people cycling to

work equates to 0.6% of all workers which is slightly less than the NSW average of 0.8%.

However, the Port Macquarie figure is significantly lower than for similar towns such as Coffs

Harbour, Ballina and Grafton.

Anecdotal evidence suggests there are a high number of regular sporting cyclists in the

region. The majority of these ride in groups outside of core business hours. Events such as

Ironman also contribute to greater numbers of sporting cyclists.

Anecdotal evidence suggests that the level of children cycling to school has dropped

significantly over the last twenty years. In the 1990s some of the region’s schools had up to

50 children regularly cycling to school and today this figure has dropped to less than 10

children.

The 2013 National Cycling Participation Survey (Austroads, 2013) suggests that 16% of

regional NSW residents ride a bicycle in a typical week. Three-quarters of these trips are for

recreation/exercise and the remainder for transport. The participation rate for males is much

higher than for females, with 20% of males riding in a typical week compared to 12% of

females. Participation rates are also much higher among children than adults. Half of the

households in NSW have at least one bike.

Over the last five years there was an average of nine reported crashes each year involving

cyclists in the LGA. However, it should also be noted that cycling crashes are significantly

under-reported, particularly cyclist-only crashes, therefore the actual number of crashes

involving cyclists would be considerably higher than the reported values. The data suggests

that cycling crash levels in the LGA are consistent with state averages for regional areas.

3.2 Bike Plan Context

Community aspirations

The Towards 2030 Community Strategic Plan details Council’s long-term vision and

aspirations of the community, taking into consideration the issues and challenges of the local

area. Through this plan, we as a community have said we want to achieve:

a healthy and active community that is supported by recreational infrastructure,

a natural environment that can be accessed by a network of footpaths, cycleways,

coastal and hinterland walkways,


an environmentally harmonious and prosperous tourism industry, and

infrastructure provision and maintenance that respects community expectations and

needs.

These aspirations are delivered through the work Council carries out as detailed in the Four

Year Delivery Program and Annual Operational Plan. These plans have a number of key

directions relating to cycling. The Port Macquarie-Hastings Bike Plan is one of a number of

strategies that together form Council’s strategy for integrated transport.

National and State strategies

The Bike Plan also has a national and state context. The federal government does not

typically contribute direct funding to bicycle network infrastructure but assists other levels of

government and stakeholders in meeting the objectives of the National Cycling Strategy

2011-2016. The strategy, which aims to double participation in cycling by Australians

between 2011 and 2016, includes the following key priorities:

Cycling promotion: Promote cycling as both a viable and safe mode of transport and an

enjoyable recreational activity.

Infrastructure and facilities: Create a comprehensive and continuous network of safe

and attractive routes to cycle and end-of-trip facilities.

Integrated planning: Consider and address cycling needs in all relevant transport and

land use planning activities.

Safety: Enable people to cycle safely.

Monitoring and evaluation: Improve monitoring and evaluation of cycling programs and

develop a national decision-making process for investment in cycling.

Guidance and best practice: Support the development of nationally consistent

guidance for stakeholders to use and share best practice across jurisdictions.

The NSW Government recently published the NSW Long Term Transport Master Plan and

the Mid North Coast Regional Transport Plan. The plans seek to integrate land use and

transport planning, covering both freight and passenger movements. They contain actions

for all modes of transport including road, rail, bus, ferries, light rail, walking and cycling. Key

measures related to cycling are:

Enhanced cycling routes in regional centres to increase the number of people who cycle.

Improved access to user-friendly, bike trip information.

A long term NSW Cycling Investment Program to improve the planning, management

and delivery of cycleway capital programs, supported by design solutions and standards

to reflect customer needs.

A program to increase and improve bike parking at public transport interchanges.


Responsibilities

The planning, design, implementation, maintenance and funding of bike network

infrastructure is the responsibility of Council, except for facilities on State roads such as the

Pacific Highway. Some facilities may attract state government funding, usually in the form of

co-funding arrangements.

3.3 Cycling for Everyday Transport and Recreation

The aim of the Bike Plan is to enable cycling for everyday transport and recreation, for a

wide spectrum of cyclist ability and trip purpose as summarised in Table 1.

Table 1 Categories of cyclists and their characteristics

Category Rider characteristics Riding environment

Non-cyclists and

potential cyclists

Do not currently ride; have potential

to ride with effective encouragement.

Generally would begin with off-road

paths, footpaths (where permitted) or

very low volume residential streets.

Primary school

children

Cognitive skills not developed, little

knowledge of road rules, require

supervision.

Off-road paths, footpaths (where

permitted) or very low volume

residential streets.

Secondary school

children

Skill varies, developing confidence. Generally use on-road facilities or off-

road paths where available.

Recreational Experience, age, skill vary greatly. Desire off-road paths and quiet local

streets, avoid heavily trafficked

routes, more experienced will prefer

to use road system for long journeys.

Commuter Vary in age, skill and fitness, some

highly skilled and able to handle a

variety of traffic conditions.

Some prefer paths or low stress

roads, willing to take longer to get to

destination, others want quick trip

regardless of traffic conditions,

primarily require space to ride and

smooth riding surface, speed

maintenance.

Utility Ride for specific purposes (e.g.

shopping), short length trips, routes

unpredictable.

Not on highly trafficked roads, needs

include comprehensive, low stress

routes, appropriate end of trip

facilities.

Touring Long distance journeys, may be

heavily equipped, some travelling in

groups.

Often route is similar to that of other

tourists.

Sporting Often in groups, two abreast

occupying left lane, similar needs to

commuters.

Travel long distances in training on

arterials, may include challenging

terrain in outer urban or rural areas,

generally do not use off-road because

of their high speed and conflict with

other users.

The primary aim of the bike plan is to increase the proportion of trips under 5km or 30

minutes in length that are undertaken by bicycle. The focus is therefore on trips within the

main towns and villages of the Port Macquarie-Hastings LGA. The majority of trips fall within

this 5km length although trips between Port Macquarie CBD and the outlying suburbs such

as Thrumster and Lighthouse Beach will be longer than 5km.

Trips between towns and villages are only likely to be undertaken by some of the categories

of cyclists listed in Table 1 and therefore are of a lower priority than trips within urban areas.

A bicycle network must therefore enable cyclists of a wide range of abilities and experience

to move safely. The basis of a bicycle network is the road network, augmented by special

on-road facilities together with dedicated infrastructure such as off-road paths, and wide

footpaths where permitted. Table 2 lists key features of a good bicycle network.

Table 2 Bicycle network features

Route Feature Comments

Safety Minimal risk of traffic related injury, low perceived danger, space to ride, minimum

conflict with vehicles.

Coherence Infrastructure should form a coherent entity, link major trip origins and

destinations, have connectivity, be continuous, signed, consistent in quality, easy

to follow, have route options.

Directness Route should be direct, based on desire lines, have low delay through routes for

commuting, avoids detours, efficient operating speeds.

Attractiveness Lighting, personal safety, aesthetics, integration with surrounding area, access to

different activities.

Comfort Smooth skid resistant riding surface, gentle gradients, avoid complicated

manoeuvres, reduced need to stop, minimum obstruction from vehicles.

4 Community Engagement

4.1 Community Workshops

A series of community workshops were held in March 2014 to discuss all forms of transport

including cycling. Feedback was also obtained through an online survey and written

submissions. Typical questions asked of respondents included:

How can safe cycling as a recognised mode of transport be improved?

How can cycling best be encouraged?

What are the primary reasons you don’t cycle?

o Perceived/actual safety concerns

o Lack of adequate paths/lanes

o Lack of adequate end of trip facilities

o Other transport modes are more convenient

o Negative image associated with cycling

o Don’t own/have access to a bike

o Lack of time

o Can’t ride

o Weather

What is the main reason you ride a bike?

o Recreation

o Fitness

o Commuting (including taking the kids to school)

o Utility (e.g. shopping)

o Touring

What improvements would you like to see that would encourage you to cycle more

frequently or at all?

4.2 Public Exhibition of Draft Bike Plan

The Draft Port Macquarie-Hastings Bike Plan was publicly exhibited between 17 April and 19

May 2014. Submissions were received from six stakeholder groups and 24 individuals.

Council prepared a report, Working Paper - Community Engagement, to summarise the

submissions received during the exhibition period.

The community engagement process was used by Council staff to develop this Draft Final

Report. In particular, the network maps have been revised as a result of comments by the

community.


4.3 Barriers to Cycling

The community engagement, in combination with a review of relevant literature, highlighted

that there are a range of barriers to cycling in our local area, including:

Car-based culture: The local area, like most regional areas, has an entrenched car-

based culture where the car is the default mode of transport for the majority of trips, even

when alternative transport modes are available. There are few disincentives to driving.

Cars and petrol are relatively cheap, car parking is abundant and free, and there is little

traffic congestion.

Dangers involved with cycling: Cycling on roads is perceived by many to be unsafe,

particularly on roads with high traffic volumes or high traffic speeds.

Unconnected infrastructure: Sections of a safe bicycle network exist but often there are

‘missing links’ to prevent the completion of a continuous and safe trip.

Negative image of cyclists: Many non-cyclists have a strongly negative attitude towards

cyclists, predominantly affected by their experiences as drivers and pedestrians.

Commuter cycling is often not perceived as a legitimate form of transport.

Cycling is considered inconvenient: Driving the car to work or to take children to school is

often seen as the most convenient mode, even if the distances involved are very short.

Multi-trips involving various stops and multiple trip purposes may be less convenient by

bike. Carrying clothes or work-related material is often perceived to be an inconvenience.

Extreme heat, rain or darkness can be a barrier to cycling.

End-of-trip facilities: A lack of secure lock-up facilities for bikes is a barrier to cycling.

Showers and change rooms are often not provided at workplaces.


5 Bicycle Route Network

5.1 Types of Bicycle Facility

The main type of bicycle facilities that can be implemented in our region are listed in Table 3.

These are supported by appropriate intersection treatments. Further information is provided

in the relevant design standards:

RMS, NSW Bicycle Guidelines

Austroads, Guide to Traffic Management and Guide to Road Design series

AUS-SPEC design specifications

Bicycle facilities aim to cater for a range of different rider characteristics (refer to Table 1),

desirable riding environment and local conditions. The Bike Plan aims to provide a balance

between costly off-road facilities and potentially lower cost on-road facilities, noting that each

facility type caters for different rider categories. A good bike plan must therefore provide an

appropriate mix between on and off-road facilities.

A future action will be to review and improve existing bicycle facilities, both on and off-road,

in terms of suitability of treatment, condition, signage and linemarking.

Table 3 Types of Bicycle Facility

Off-road /

On-road

Description Design Details

Off-road Shared path Two-way shared path (cyclists / pedestrians), 2.0-

3.0m wide


Off-road /

On-road

Description Design Details

On-road Road shoulder Sealed road shoulder on urban or rural roads, low

parking utilisation, shoulder width 1.0-2.0m, relatively

smooth surface

Mixed traffic Roads with minimal marking where motorised and

cyclist traffic can share available road space, low

traffic speeds (<50 km/h), low traffic volume (<2000

veh/day)


5.2 Complementary Actions

The bicycle network should be complemented by other facilities and actions, subject to

funding limitations, including:

Localised intersection treatments

Wayfinding signage

Network maps

Secure bike parking

Maintenance of on-road and off-road facilities

End of trip facilities such as showers, lockers and changing rooms

Education, encouragement and promotion programs

Bicycle handling skills training programs

5.3 Bicycle Route Network Maps

The existing and proposed bicycle route network for each of the region’s main towns are

shown in a series of five maps, with key inter-town routes shown on a further two maps:

1. Port Macquarie Bicycle Network

2. Wauchope Bicycle Network

3. Lake Cathie - Bonny Hills Bicycle Network

4. Camden Haven Bicycle Network

5. Kendall - Lakewood Bicycle Network

6. Inter-Town Bicycle Network - North

7. Inter-Town Bicycle Network - South


Port Macquarie Bicycle Network

Port Macquarie has a number of good quality bicycle facilities and the priority is to connect

these together to form a cohesive network.

Key strategic future routes include:

A combination of shared paths and road shoulders along the Oxley Highway, Hastings

River Drive and Ocean Drive corridors.

A shared path between Port Macquarie town centre, the Hospital Precinct and proposed

Charles Sturt University campus at Lake Innes.

Ongoing shared path network along the Kooloonbung Creek corridor, including the

Googik Track to connect to the southern suburbs.

Improvements to the Town Beach Foreshore - Coastal Walkway to form a complete off-

road network between Settlement City and Tacking Point.

Wauchope Bicycle Network

Wauchope currently has a series of disconnected bicycle facilities, with the most significant

being the river foreshore shared path and the Beechwood Road shared path.


A north-south shared path on Cameron Street from the Hastings River to Blackbutt Drive.

A shared path on High Street west of Blackbutt Drive to connect to the existing Allan

Road on-road route.

A shared path connecting Timbertown Estate to the town centre.

Lake Cathie - Bonny Hills Bicycle Network

The Lake Cathie - Bonny Hills area currently has road shoulders on sections of Ocean Drive

and some short sections of shared path in residential areas.


Completion of road shoulders along the entire length of Ocean Drive.

A north-south shared path network via a combination of the Ocean Drive corridor and

through the Rainbow Beach land release area, including connections to the new Lake

Cathie School.

Camden Haven Bicycle Network

The spine of the Camden Haven network is the existing shared path connecting Laurieton to

North Haven along the river foreshore. This is a popular path used for commuting, recreation

and tourism.


A shared path along Ocean Drive between Laurieton and Kew.

Completion of the new Stingray Creek bridge with associated shared paths.


An extension of the North Haven - Laurieton foreshore shared path to Camden Head via

Dunbogan.

Kendall - Lakewood Bicycle Network

The main existing facility in Kendall is a shared path on a section of Comboyne Street whilst

in Lakewood sections of Ocean Drive have road shoulders.


A shared path along Kendall Road between Kendall and Kew.

A shared path along Ocean Drive between Laurieton and Kew, including a connection to

Camden Haven High School.

A new path network associated with the land release area in Kew/Lakewood north of

Ocean Drive.

Inter-Town Bicycle Network

Inter-town bicycle routes are primarily along roads that provide connectivity between urban

areas, and involve a combination of state, regional and local roads.


Road shoulders on the Oxley Highway between Port Macquarie and Wauchope.

Road shoulders on the entire length of Hastings River Drive and Ocean Drive.

Road shoulders on Houston Mitchell Drive.

A coastal shared path connecting Port Macquarie, Lake Cathie, Bonny Hills and North

Haven.

DISCLAIMERThis map was produced by the Geographic Information Servicessection of the Port Macquarie-Hastings Council using information available to Port Macquarie-Hastings Council and the Department of Lands, Bathurst. The data was captured at a scale of 1:25000 for rural areas and 1:4000 for urban areas. The positional accuracy of plots becomes less reliable when viewed at scales greater than the capture scale. Port Macquarie-Hastings Council accepts no responsibility either in contract or tort (and particularlyin negligence) for any errors, omissions or inaccuracies whatsoever contained within or arising from this map.NOTE: Cadastral information outside the Port Macquarie-Hastings LGA not updated.
