Department of Infrastructure and Transport (DIT) is responsible for road surfaces on main roads. Council is responsible for footpath treatments.
Where possible, provide footpaths on both sides of the street along gateway and major roads.
Footpaths should be of sufficient widths to allow comfortable pedestrian movement and clear access for people with a pram or in a wheelchair, including the provision of wider paths around activity areas such as shops and schools.
Integrate public and privately-owned outdoor spaces through consistent materials and detailing.
Design streetscape surfaces to be flexible and adaptable for different events, activities or seasonal changes.
