weWALK is a Queensland Walks project that brings together people as they advocate for more walkable communities so we:
Walkability improves the liveability of communities for the better. Queensland Walks deeply values the important contribution that volunteer advocates make towards a more walkable Queensland.
By joining weWALK, local advocacy groups become a part of a collaborative, united and informed voice for a more walkable Queensland.
weWALK members have opportunities to upskill in our Q-WALKshops. Local advocacy leaders may become recognised weWALK leaders and presenters.
Queensland Walks has a growing library of information and templates in the WALK HUB ready for use. The Walk Hub provides accurate, relevant information for walking advocacy.
By sharing our resources we can all spend more time walking, rolling and strolling. Together weWALK.
Learning, sharing ideas and participating in good humoured but frank discussions were the order of the morning at the weWALK Toowoomba walkshop in August.
Despite the rainy weather, the meeting attracted a diverse selection of the community. Attendees included council staff, community groups, not for profit organisations, health and wellbeing and disability representatives, bicycle users, climate advocates, universities, young people and pram users. Whilst practical outdoors experience is always preferred for the WALKshops (walking workshops) the group had many well-known local examples to discuss.
During the WALKshop, the team from Queensland Walks focused on both the health and active transport statistics of the region to highlight what impact more people walking could have on the economy and health and well-being of the Toowoomba communities.
weWALK Toowoomba show-cased how the community and council are committed to working together to improve the liveability of the region with more walkable communities for everyone. There is always work to be done, however collaborative work towards inclusive, walkable places, is well underway in Toowoomba.
Queensland Walks is excited to see an upturn in the number of people completing the https://queenslandwalks.org.au/walk-my-street/ checklist and to see that more people have committed to join the walking advisory group with Toowoomba Regional Council.
