This document, published by the Victorian Department of Transport in 2010, outlines criteria that must be considered by those planning and designing transport projects to determine whether to include bicycle facilities and the application process. This policy direction will ensure that those who are planning and designing a broad range of transport projects consider the needs of cyclists early in the scoping of a transport project.

This is a great opportunity to get it right for cyclists – to provide high quality facilities on a strategic bicycle network, and deliver them as part of other projects when the opportunity arises.
The criteria aim to provide a more consistent approach to including bicycles facilities in a range of transport projects.
