BUILD THE STRATEGIC CYCLING NETWORK

What the strategic cycling corridor network is supposed to be:

“The SCC network supports the needs of commuter trips (to work or education). Which includes important trips, such as stations, shops or schools.

The SCC network links up important destinations. Which includes central Melbourne city, employment and activity centres. This also includes other destinations of metropolitan and regional significance.

SCCs can be on and off road, on municipal and state roads. It's designed to provide a safe, lower-stress cycling for transport experience.”

What it actually is: a bunch of blue and pink lines on the map, with no plan or budget to actually build infrastructure along these routes.

Port Phillip Bicycle Users Group is calling on all candidates at the upcoming State Election to fund cycle infrastructure at a level that will enable building a connected safe network of cycling paths.

One of the much-needed routes is the ANZAC to SANDRINGHAM protected bike route.

We will be riding this route on Wednesday 18th February. Meet at the intersection of St Kilda Rd and Punt Rd (specifically at the park on the north-west corner of the intersection) at 6pm 18th Feb 2026. We will ride to Sandringham along St Kilda Rd—- New St— Hampton St. Stopping as needed to discuss the challenges and take photos. All welcome; RSVP optional (for last minute changes of plan due to weather etc).
