Designing Western Australia’s Long-term Cycle Network for Perth and Peel required innovative tools to bring together diverse stakeholders, capture local knowledge, and foster collaborative planning. To achieve this, web maps played a central role.
Challenge
The Long-Term Cycle Network for Perth and Peel represents a shared vision for a safe, accessible, and fully integrated cycling network, connecting key activity centres, local communities, and major employment hubs.
GIS Pro provided specialised GIS expertise to support Flyt in developing the future cycle network for the Department of Transport, working closely with local government authorities, Main Roads WA, the Public Transport Authority, and METRONET.
Solution
GIS Pro deployed a series of interactive web maps, allowing all stakeholders to visualise the proposed network, contribute feedback, and collaboratively shape the final design.
The web maps became a central platform where agencies could:
- Exchange spatial information in real time
- Draw and edit proposed routes directly on the map
- Provide feedback and highlight constraints or opportunities
- Track the evolution of the network design throughout the project lifecycle
This interactive and transparent approach ensured that all parties were actively involved, with decisions supported by clear and accessible spatial data.
Outcome
The high level of stakeholder engagement and extensive use of the web maps led to the successful development of a well-supported, future-proof cycle network vision.
The collaborative planning process enabled local knowledge, technical expertise, and community priorities to be fully captured; resulting in a stronger, more connected network that will support active transport for years to come.
I’ve worked with GIS Pro for the past year on a significant State project, requiring the development of a range of online mapping portals to capture stakeholder inputs. GIS Pro have always been responsive in finding solutions to the technical challenges of the project and are real team players.
