PEDESTRIAN ACCESS MOBILITY PLANS (PAMPs
COMMUNITY FEEDBACK SORT FOR MORRIS STREET COOTAMUNDRA – PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND MOBILITY PLAN
Morris Street Cootamundra shared path has been identified in the Cootamundra & Villages Pedestrian Access & Mobility Plan (PAMP) as a high priority location requiring repair or replacement. The PAMP provides the framework for developing pedestrian routes identified as important for walkability, safety, convenience and mobility, with a particular focus on footpaths, kerb ramps and crossing facilities at critical locations.
CGRC is currently seeking feedback from interested residents, organisations and road users to ensure that the replacement path along Morris Street meets the needs of the community. Your feedback is vital in the development of this project and Council thanks you in advance for your participation.
Hard copies of the survey can be completed by calling into Council Administration offices in Cootamundra and Gundagai.

PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND MOBILITY PLAN
Together with the Roads and Maritime Services (RMS), Councils in NSW have a responsibility to provide safe, convenient and connected pedestrian routes which will encourage people to walk rather than use cars. In 1998, the RMS began a new program to assist councils in their planning for pedestrians. This program is known as PAMP – Pedestrian Access and Mobility Plan.
The Cootamundra-Gundagai Regional Council (CGRC) PAMP will align with Council’s key principles and objectives identified in the 2022 Community Strategic Plan in achieving pathway network infrastructure and maintenance that respects community expectations and needs. It will provide the framework for developing pedestrian routes or areas identified as important for walkability, safety, convenience and mobility, with a particular focus on footpaths, kerb ramps and crossing facilities at critical locations.
The CGRC PAMP will be used to guide investment in safe, convenient and connected pedestrian infrastructure. It is the key instrument for planning and building needed pedestrian infrastructure in a prioritised manner. It is essential in supporting all major pedestrian funding requests directed through Transport for NSW (TfNSW) and will ensure that all available funding sources are being used effectively to improve the pedestrian network.
