The Town of Victoria Park and the Department of Transport have partnered to deliver improved walking and cycling facilities along Rutland Avenue.

The aim of this project is to provide a safe and convenient connection for pedestrians and bike riders between the existing principal shared path (PSP) along the Graham Farmer Freeway and Welshpool Road.

Would you like to know more about the Rutland Avenue Bike Path Project? Come and talk to a project team member at one of our pop-up events.

The pop-up information sessions will explain the proposal and provide you with an opportunity to share your thoughts on the two designs.

Celebrate Bike Week with a free coffee and chia bun!

Outside Victoria Park Train Station, Lathlain (Rutland Ave side)

It’s time to ride and shine!

In the tradition of Glow Ride, FreoBUG presents the Light Me Up Ride, a gentle evening ride designed to celebrate cycling and shine a light on you and your bike.

Ride departs at 7.00pm from South Beach and winds along the beachside shared paths. The relaxed 5km return ride is suitable for people of all ages and riding abilities. Just make sure you glow!

Participants are encouraged to kit out their bikes and helmets with lights, reflectors or anything that glows.

Prizes will awarded to those with the best decorated bikes and extra points for those who use recylced or resuable materials.

Be sure to bring a jacket as the Freo Doctor can drop the temperature as soon as the sun goes down.

This event is recipient of a 2018 Bike Week grant, made possible by the Department of Transport and WestCycle.
