The City's Bike Plan is being renewed. We need your input to update local cycling data, capture rider demographics and experience of cycling infrastructure to guide improvements and develop a plan that reflects Fremantle's changing and growing community.

The City of Fremantle is updating its Bike Plan to make cycling safer, easier and more accessible for everyone. This local Bike Plan has been jointly funded by the City of Fremantle and the State Government as part of the WA Bicycle Network Grants Program. The Bike Plan 2026–2031 project directly supports the City's Strategic Community Plan 2023-2034 and will guide structural improvements to Fremantle’s Long Term Cycle Network (LTCN) - including where new bike routes are needed, how existing routes can be improved, and what supporting initiatives will help more people choose to ride. The new plan aims to update our understanding of how people currently cycle (or would like to cycle) in Fremantle, including capturing how bike rider needs and experiences differ across Freo's suburbs, local conditions and community make-up.

Do you ride around Fremantle? Would you like to? Let us know what would make it easier and more enjoyable!

Community feedback gathered through this engagement will play a critical role in shaping the updated Bike Plan, supporting the City to increase cycling mode share, reduce transport-related carbon emissions, and deliver broader benefits for community connection, health and wellbeing. This information will help establish a prioritised pipeline of cycling infrastructure projects and identify initiatives to encourage greater cycling participation in Fremantle. As part of the project, we're asking the community to share their thoughts on how bike riding currently works (and doesn't work) in different parts of Fremantle. Your feedback will help shape future cycling infrastructure across Fremantle and support:

  • Safer streets and better connections
  • Healthier, more active neighbourhoods and suburbs
  • Reduced carbon emissions
  • A city that’s easier to move around without a car

How can the community influence the project?

We are asking the public to:

  • Provide comment on the previous Bike Plan, as well as share local knowledge on current bike rider behaviour and experience via the Bike Plan Survey on this project page.
  • Help us identify and better understand the needs of different riders, including children and young people, parents and carers, women and visitors to Fremantle.
  • Identify key cyclist routes, pinch points and safety issues as well as opportunities via our Interactive Map on this project.
  • Review the Key Documents and Frequently Asked Questions about this engagement program.

How can you meet with City Officers to discuss the Bike Plan 2026-2031 and share your feedback?

You can request to meet with city staff to discuss your thoughts on cycling in Fremantle via a 1:1 meeting, group meeting or attend a community precinct meeting.
