- Built local capability and capacity by producing a professional Bicycle Route Booklet on a very small budget, using in-kind support and reduced rates, designed to clearly communicate the need for safer cycling infrastructure to residents and all levels of government, aligned with existing state transport and active travel priorities
- Shifted attitudes and behaviours through public consultation, where strong community feedback showed clear demand for change (with 83% stating improved markings and road treatments would encourage use of the route, and 80% identifying current cycling infrastructure as inadequate)
- Enhanced the street environment by identifying practical safety improvements along the proposed corridor, including five priority projects for further detailed planning and future delivery to strengthen the Bull Creek–Fremantle connection within the Perth and Peel Long Term Cycle Network
- Triailed a collaborative model by strengthening partnerships across the corridor, including East Fremantle CARG and Pally 6157 Town Team, building shared objectives and long-term cooperation to support safer connected cycling routes across local government boundaries
1. Build local capability and capacity A professional report was produced in a very small funding envelope thanks to in-kind support and greatly reduced rates. Pitched at both local residents as well as government and other stakeholders, the report will allow the local need for safer streets to be communicated at all levels of government, an uses alignment with existing government goals to build on local capacity for change
2. Change attitudes and behaviours Via the survey submitted for public consultation, 83% of respondents said that the road treatments and markings would encourage them to use the route. 80% said current cycling infrastructure was inadequate
3. Enhance street environment The report shows multiple potential street improvements that would improve safety along the designated route, including identifying five priority projects for further detailed planning and delivery
4. Trail a Collaborative Model The project led to strong connections with other groups along the corridor including East Fremantle CARG and the neighbouring Pally 6157 Town Team. Many of Booragoon Town Team's objectives aligned with Pally 6157 and has created strong collaborative bonds between the two groups going forward
Changes in attitudes/behaviours reflections: The survey results show strong support for within the community for improved cycling infrastructure in the area. Of the 30 respondents, none said current infrastructure was adequate, and 83% said that they would be encouraged to used the route if directional markings and road treatments were implemented.
