Longreach Regional Council has developed the Longreach Regional Council Walking Network Plan 2024 (WNP) to make it easier, safer, and more comfortable for locals and visitors to explore Longreach’s services, attractions and outback scenery on foot, enhancing their health and wellbeing.
The development of the WNP is proudly funded in part (50%) by the Queensland Government’s Walking Local Government Grants Program and 50% by Longreach Regional Council. Walking, as a form of active transport, provides a wide array of health, environmental, economic and social benefits— including improving liveability and connection. In Queensland, walking emerges as the most prevalent form of physical activity, offering a cost-effective and easily accessible means for people to engage in physical activity.
This plan aims to encourage more people to engage in walking activities in and around Longreach. To ensure the plan is responsive to community needs, thorough stakeholder engagement explored the barriers and opportunities, informed the primary and secondary routes, and contributed to the priority projects identified in this plan.
