WA Bicycle Network Grants Program

To receive WABN Grants Program updates, subscribe to the WABN Grants Program e-newsletter.

The WA Bicycle Network (WABN) Grants Program is aimed at providing a funding source to local governments to help create infrastructure and initiatives to encourage people of all ages and abilities to ride more often.

The latest round of WABN Grants provided funding across 3 categories:

• Perth Bicycle Network (PBN) and Regional Bicycle Network (RBN) grants providing funding to local governments to develop local bike plans and to plan, design and deliver bicycle infrastructure. Funding allocation for PBN and RBN are guided by Western Australia’s long-term cycle network.
• Active Travel Officer (ATO) grants supporting local governments to employ an ATO for 3 years, to increase capacity and expertise to develop and deliver local active travel initiatives.

A new program, different to the current WABN program, is currently being designed. To keep up to date with the latest information subscribe to the e-newsletter.
