COUNCIL hopes to form a group to help build a more active and healthy Redlands.
An expression of interest process for membership of the Redlands Coast active travel group was designed to allow the new group to convene from mid-2021.
The group will deal with any mode of travel that requires human-powered mobility from walking to cycling to riding an e-scooter and will have up to 15 members.
Mayor Karen Williams said active travel could help encourage community-friendly public spaces, improve productivity, and contribute to reducing the burden of parking and transport infrastructure dominated by cars.
"We want our organisation and the Redlands Coast community to be an example of an environmentally sustainable and transport-resilient community," she said.
Chairperson of the active travel group Cr Peter Mitchell, said it would help council form strategic partnerships with community and transport groups and help to advocate for more travel opportunities or projects.
"The rising popularity of scooters is just one example of an active travel mode used in many urban areas for both recreation and journeys to work.
"This includes pedestrian access and safety within our villages and centres and all ages mobility issues encompassing personal mobility devices," he said.
To express your interest in being a member of the active travel group, go to council's Yoursay Redland Coast website. The EOI closes on April 30.
