Local Area Mobility Plans identify a network of connected, safe and convenient walking and cycling routes to and from common destinations within a neighbourhood. These destinations include schools, shopping precincts, major parks and recreation areas, and frequent bus stops.

The focus of the Local Area Mobility Plan will be different for each neighbourhood, allowing it to meet that community's unique needs and future transport network requirements.

The mobility plan for West Hobart and parts of Mount Stuart identifies projects and initiatives to be included within capital works planning and delivery over the next 10 years.

It makes suggestions for the types of investment that could better support walking and cycling such as:

• wider footpaths
• kerb ramps
• safer pedestrian crossings
• traffic calming measures
• street trees and seating
• bike lanes and connected cycleways
• on-street parking changes.
