Courses included field trips, theoretical learning and practical exercises to help participants build their knowledge and skills in the planning, design and operation of walking and cycling infrastructure. 

Next steps

We will continue to offer the training courses in 2023 in a variety of Queensland locations. We will also explore developing new training in response to emerging issues and look at different formats to maximise flexibility, participation and learning.
