Walking SA supports the City of Adelaide’s Draft Community Wellbeing Strategy and requests further consideration of the role that the council plays in ensuring a safe, comfortable and appealing environment for walkability for both leisure and transport. Safe and comfortable walkable access between homes, workplaces and daily destinations are key to enhancing opportunities for community connection, physical health and equitable access for people of all ages, incomes and abilities.

Walking SA looks forward to continuing to work alongside Council to strengthen walking as a foundation of community wellbeing, liveability and equity, and to support implementation that enables people to walk safely, confidently and as part of everyday life.
